Most news written and covered is not exactly designed to make people 'comfortable'.

Wars, sex scandals, porn, drugs, deaths, 'unthinkable crimes', blah blah, all the big stories will draw more people to watch / read the news, which will end up equating to more ads $ generated.
Search for national papers that pick up the headlines. Search for leads on national shows on DateLine, NightLine, etc.

You're wrong on this one...

Death, distruction, and drugs may tune people in, but CP make people uncomfortable and makes them feel like shit.


Not a way to add viewership/readership....
