Trouble and doom is far better for the media since it enables them to investigate, report and rehash all sorts of awful possibilities and thereby stir up a whole load of fear, panic and protest which they can then report on as well. There's a big difference between responsibly reporting news and creating news or circulating speculation and I feel there's rather too much of the latter going on these days. It doesn't just apply to the Brexit and Trump stories either because these organisations are always in need of something to report even if it amounts to sensationalising nothing more than hearsay.
