Ah but the good news thing is actually nothing to do with Spain and everything to do with news in this era. It’s a problem everywhere that news is like 95% bad, and not because the world is getting any worse either.

Both things can be true. The world is getting worse and news is overeager to tell you about it while ignoring the good things that are happening. Knowing about the good things wouldn't stop the bad things from still being true, but at least the news wouldn't be entirely depressing.
