I would assume there is a chemical response in the brain that is triggered when we read bad news (bad news). And the chemical response is stronger than the chemical response that is released when we read good news. I also think bad news plays more into human survival instincts for which the body automatically places a greater response than good news (safety). You can’t get rid of bad news instincts in humans but you can tackle bad news is by creating outlets focused good news

I disagree just a little bit.

For instance, in Nigeria, when a bad news comes on social media or main stream media, people immediately believe it without even asking questions to prove it. But when some good news about good deeds done start to go around, people immediately discredit it's validity.

I just think it's a bad programming that is contagious.

An expectation for things to keep being bad and when there is a glimmer of hope that things are probably getting better, you're in disbelief.
