You're exactly right. I think each State and City will have it's good and bad points, as in my State. Invariably though, the media will always find the goofiest or most perverted representative to put on camera....at times, I just shake my head in disbelief
Our local PBS station plays a special sometimes on the "Great People of Oklahoma", you can't watch it and not feel pride in my home State.
To the OP, look for the good in your area - I know you'll find something to take pride in about your city. And, you are in no way responsible for the shameful things, so don't ever feel that way!
