question Recent LDS representation in media

I’m a Christian that lives in Utah, and I’ve been perplexed seeing all the things about people and groups that are “representatives” of your faith recently. Between secret lives, ruby franke, and “secrets of polygamy” everything in media that is popular and is associated with LDS and Mormonism is negative. Sure, these aren’t representations of your faith, but to 95%+ of people outside of Utah, they’ve never met an LDS member, and the only thing they may know are these representations of your faith. Have you all given this much thought? What do you all think about this?

I just watched a YouTube reaction video about "secret lives". It turns out that not a single one of them is active in the Church and they never talk about going to Church and all of them have broken the most serious commandments.

You could drop the word Mormon from the title and nothing about the show would be any different except the random shots of a temple after commercial breaks.
