  I know, but I also think it has become a political nostrum that's used to shut down debate as often as open it up. It's easy to fall into a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_world_syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_world_syndrome mindset as well; this used to be considered a mass media pehnomenon, but relatively small internet communities fulfil the same function. In short, not all good news is propaganda.
