"If it bleeds, it leads"
That is an actual news media catchphrase. The media makes a point of reporting violent crimes and accidents because it attracts attention and sells copy/raises viewership ratings, which in turn raises the value of their advertising rates.
Try this. Stop watching, reading or listening to news for a week and see if you feel safer/less safe after.
