And this is the key point of right-wing propaganda. Destroy trust into organizations, sow sentiments against immigrants, spread fear by overhyping individual crimes, produce anxiety. Basically "make people angry and fearful".
And since the media - especially social media - is trapped in an attention economy where mainly bad news drive engagement it's no wonder people have a skewed and negative view of reality.
