For all the human obsession with the misery of other human beings, I just don't get why murderers and other freaks get so much media coverage, being advertised as if they had done something good. Guy killed two people and tried to eat one's face - so what?! Lock the nutcase up in a looney bin where he belongs and be done with it, not make a worldwide celebrity out of him!
I think the lot of you would agree that the world would be a much nicer place to live in, if the news actually reported nice things rather than constanty nitpicked the most shocking, violent and disgusting incidents to cover.

Oh, undoubtedly. But feel-good stories don't generate ratings, shocking/horrifying stories do.

Sensationalism isn't good.
Sweeping things under the rug isn't good, either.
