Disagree. A constant stream of news unbalanced towards the negative doesn't necessarily reflect what is "reality". Reality contains as many positives as negatives!

That's an interesting hypothesis, but is it true. There are actually two separate suggestions here:
1. Reality contains as many positives as negatives - possible, interesting philosophical assertion
2. Reality contains as many newsworthy positives as negatives - seems unlikely to me. No-one is really that interested in 'Kitten doesn't die, continues living as normal'.
