While I can't really comment too much on the mainstream myself (being so out of touch with the media these days) I imagine they see it a bit differently than they did say 10 years ago but thats not to say big media giants like The Sun or The Times don't like to take a pop at gaming every now and again with scare articles to try score afew hits and horrify the ill informed masses who can't wipe their own arses unless the media tells them to.
Games like Call of Duty and Angry Birds are in the mainstream eye these days and they have sold more than some games could ever hope, which dispite my dislike for both of the games mentioned is a good thing as it grabs peoples attention.
The Wii in particular has been great this generation because its painted gaming in a possitive light and shown people that its not all about murdering things like the media likes you to believe and it can be pretty fun stuff or even be used as a way to make you more active.
So to answer your question, I'd say it isn't all viewed as poorly as it used to be with the whole Manhunt controversy or a bit further back with the original Mortal Kombat and Carmagedon controversies. The media will blow things out of proportion now and again when they have nothing else to write about but I think people are a bit wiser to what the media writes these days and take it all with a pinch of salt.
