The phrase "if it bleeds, it reads" is more of a commentrary on us as an audience than the people…

We as readers/viewers want it. Yes, us! And we have to take responsibility for this one. The news media (however you view your news, yes even on social where you get to watch people being fired/losing homes, etc in real time), show us what we want to see. They show us blood, guts and gore, despite our weak protests because we continue to watch/consumer/listen to it. If we really, really, didn’t want to watch/listen to it, we wouldn’t and the media would change their focus.

The phrase "if it bleeds, it reads" is more of a commentrary on us as an audience than the people making the content. This was a very thought provoking read. I enjoyed it!
