Bad News

Your question sounds like why there are creations of horror film and comedy film, even many horror films are more impressive for people than the comedy ones. It doesn't mean we think worse of the comedy film, it's just relevant with the spirit posture when we see them. As for the news, we always browse over the good news whilst pay much attention to the bad ones, because you haven't experienced them, a bit of curious, or partly due to the natural concern to other people, so you neglect the good news before, it's just a misconception.
