Why does the media generally, always emphasise the things which depress people?

In a world where facts were reported we could have been without the scare mongering of the new postage rates and complimented Royal Mail for introducing vastly reduced rates.

For example, on first class letter: 100g was 49p, now 32p; 250g was 99p, now only 65p; 500g was 190p, now only 90p; 750g was 2.89p, now only 1.31p and 1kg packet was 3.89p, now only 2.70p. Such colossal reductions also occur on the second class rates.

I would be more concerned how they are to maintain their profits while still offering what is acknowledged to be one of the best services in the world.

There is something here for the private services to emulate, let's start with the railways and water!
