I think there are several reasons: - If your publication starts feeding on anger and outrage you become a tabloid by definition. - There is plenty of negativity going on in there but it’s more subtle.

New York Times published a bollocks article about the Chinese hospital system with fake translations of witness accounts. Now I still have more trust in major publications than other outlets but even those are not that good at or eager to fact check if it makes for a better story.
