It has been a feature of news coverage for over a century that “If it bleeds, it leads,” meaning that anything sensational or tragic will likely be a front-page story. While that is widely assumed to be due to crass commercialism, is there a more sinister reason why more negativity is focused on by the media than positive developments?

Many times, critics of the mainstream television news networks have pointed out their correspondents using the same key phrases to encapsulate a news story with identical wording and interpretation. In the past, that has been attributed to news outlets receiving overnight press releases from political parties they favor. Is this the case? Are there more sinister sources of this “copycat” behavior?
