A stone's throw away from Stardock headquarters is a city with some definite leadership problems. In , being my hometown, I'm seeing this drama unfold as close to first hand as possible without being involved myself.

People have a taste for blood, hate, salacious innuendo and other negative "news" items.
Just about everyone likes it when the "bad" guy (du jour) gets it in the neck, and many (secretly) enjoy shedding a tear or expressing outrage when bad things happen to good people.
Face it, we are social creatures and "news" items enforce our norms...and unify us in our judgements of what is "good" and "bad".
As George Burns said in his G-d movies, there is no good without bad just as there is no one sided coin.
