#3 Modern ~~News~~ Entertainment industry survives on selling fear. Blood and guts in print or on the screen at 10. They caught on to why people 'pay' to go to movies to watch scary things or variations of sadomasochistic treatment of their fellow man. It's the modern version of the Roman Circus. These producers would have been jolly clowns during the Dark Ages and the Plagues when things really were bad. Oh, wait, the Church[tm] had that monopoly back then to use the world around them to rationalize their power and the need for people to blindly obey them. Never mind.
