if it bleeds it leads


basically means that the media loves violence. television, radio, and film will for the most part have much higher ratings if it’s about a bunch of people getting murdered rather than something nice, like somebody saving a cat from a tree. ultimately, it’s a statement about america’s fascination with violence.
