Using that logic, we'd never hear about any bad news. Not that *I*
personally would necessarily mind that, but it does seem to be the primary
bread and butter for journalism to report bad news.

Yep. It's a consumer-driven market, and we live in a world full of
wreck-gawkers.

A publication that offers nothing but good things to say isn't taken
seriously, and finds itself with just as many critics and cynics as those
who report nothing but dirty laundry.
