Sure but if you're only viewing sad/bad news from selected subreddits then it's easy to conflate that with the normal or assume it's happening more often and it could just be a rare select one off.
Shouldn't stick your head in the sand but I wish the amount of good/bad news is proportional to what is happening in the real world but sensationalism gets more clicks which also means more hot/top threads.
