Now the only way they can sell that space is if they can show they have a large audience and the only way to do that is to tell sensational stories.<br /><br />Here's the problem, they concentrate on and over-report the sensational, disaster-based or doom laden stories when they find them and when they can't find them they twist and spin whatever story they are able to find until it fits the same category.
