It receives unbalanced coverage. Why would media give time and space to things like charitable work undertaken by Muslim organisations, successful interfaith projects, etc? That doesn't generate nearly the same amount of interest as they could get with stories of injustice, fear or controversy.
I suspect that, in most places, if people reached out across cultural and religious divides, they would find far more in common with each other than not, if they approach it with an open mind and heart.
