Baltimore is my home town - Detroit is my wife's home town.

You are absolutely correct - Baltimore is a great town going through a hard time.

Would things be different if the news showed the great things in Baltimore? Like Camden Yards or Washington Monument and the Walters or Fells Point or the Katyn Monument or the Aquarium or all the great places to eat? I think so.

That said it would be doing a disservice to anyone wanting to visit or move without also adding that Baltimore does have its issues.
