Because the Devil runs Fox News, along with most of the media.
And I'm not talking Bush or Murdoch, I'm talking ideology.

Things that are right are accepted by the brain and pass through with little attention given, unless they elicit strong positive emotions. Things that are bad arouse negative emotions forcing people to pay attention and find some resolve. I don't think they find them interesting - I just think they elicit more negative emotion. People seek relief from these negative feelings and they focus on this negativity until it can be neutralized.

in communication science its proven that humans tend to like such because it proves their beliefs true. Beliefs that the world couldnt get any better and that they are at least better of and safer... we seem to live on other peoples agony so we can sit back and judge later or seem knowledgable on other peoples habits and what not, or maybe later feel better that we arent them and that we are safer and better off. either way, the media has fed us so much of this, we always keep wondering what more could the world do. from babies thrown off buildings, to women raped and murdered, innocent people killed etc... its just hard to understand. i find it depressing, i hate reading papers or watching news. unless its the business section or a bit of politics. the media knows humans are addicted to woe i suppose. on the other hand... we need to also be informed of these bad happenings so we can keep ourselves safe. if there is a serial killer at a certain please, we know better than to wander off there...

"Wrongness" is interesting. It's out of the ordinary. It's news. The news is never about the norm. It about the abnormal - which is equivilant to "the wrong" It's sad that we'd rather hear about a shooting than we would about a loving act. But the good news is that loving acts are the norm - and shootings are not.

Thats just the way we are. Like the sky is blue, we will always focus on the negatives in this life that demands perfection.

because if you do the right thing; as an example, if your friends tell you to smoke and you don't want to then you tell your friend that you do. That is call peer pressure. And now your doing the wrong thing

Self-proven, which mostly ends up to the ridiculous thing. Come on people, humble ourselves.
