I'd love a channel that features nothing but stories that inspire us and reassure us, and our children, that there are good things happening and good people in the world.
I reckon we could do with a thread on here that does much the same. Here's a starting point:

I like the idea.
Here's a reason the world ain't that bad - spending the day with my family.
And I got waves to myself yesterday.
When Donald Trump is president we will see a lot more of his wife and daughters on TV.

Bit like burying your head in the sand so you feel better 
Well, according to that article I linked, bad news sells and humans are drawn to it. And for sure, there's some crappy stuff going on in the world, but there's some good stuff too...

Actually, you are very right about that. There are some very interesting facts and figures about violent crime 50 years ago compared to today. The awareness of violent crime is much much greater now, hence a skewed perception that WA is less safe, when it is far safer than it was by any statistical measure of violent crime. Of course back then it was three television stations and two daily newspapers. Now it's a bazillion tv stations, another zillion radio stations, umpteenth web pages/social media feeds etc.
I have my Media students right about this stuff.
Another beautiful thing in the world:
Osprey.
Good thing going on in the world:
The Olympics uniting people;
Roger Federer keeping on keeping on;
the sunset tonight and the Lightning right now.
