The Muslim Savior?

After the shooting in Pittsburgh, Muslim-American non-profits Celebrate Mercy and MPower Change rallied together to start the campaign "Muslims Unite for Pittsburgh Synagogue." The crowdfunding campaign raised over $125 thousand. These efforts were covered by forward.com, Global Citizen, Business Insider, and CBS online.  However, the majority of the other outlets are for people interested in social justice. Therefor, why is that the media doesn't cover the good deeds of people of the Muslim faith? The media neglects to portray Muslims as kind, good-hearted, and upstanding citizens. The media is more interested in presenting them as the other, rather than calling them inside.
