Grumbling and Complaining

Has anyone noticed that our tv and print news will never (or should I say "rarely"...although I have not yet seen nor read any) write an article or broadcast/interview anyone who is living a simple and content life, trusting in the Lord, adjusting to whatever the economy throws upon us, despite the rising of prices, inflation and other experiences?
Sadly, many Christians today spend more time watching the news, or listening to commentaries, about people complaining about inflation and the raising of prices rather than reading and meditating on the Word of God, His promises, His faithfulness, and enjoying and basking in His presence despite all that is happening in the world. And so, what do you expect, but to hear the same complaints, the same grumbling, from what they (Christians) hear or read in the news.
Just thinking.
Psalms 4:6-8 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?" Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD. (7) You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. (8) I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
