I think we can charitably call it watching a trainwreck unfold. There is not necessarily any Schadenfreude in watching and reporting it. No one really needs to be taking pleasure, it's just hard to not pay attention to a train crash occuring in slow motion. It's very natural to want to talk about something this stupid/bad. Rubber necking is extremely human.
