Just really try and imagine, just for a second, what a newspaper front page would look like if it carried just good news.
There are wars and earthquakes and death and suffering. It's actually
what we humans are far more interested in (when reading about other humans) It's called "human interest" (a term thought up by the evil media of course). Your neighbour going on holiday with his family to Spain, having a wonderful, coming back healthy and tanned, is dull. Your neighbour going to Spain and being murdered in Ibiza by "Tongy" is much more exciting to read about.
