Another explanation except "news only show creepy stuff": it's simply that people have different priorities. And we judge other people's life situations according to theirs, and conclude that their lives suck because we would feel unhappy being in their place, just because our priorities are different. Let's say person A is very career oriented and keeps moving cities and countries to do jobs they are offered, their income skyrocketing, but they don't have any extended family connections or close friends because they move frequently and don't feel attached to the place. A person B lives where they were born and have a loving extended family, support them and can always expect to be supported, but as a result, they are stuck in a dead-end, poorly paid job with no prospects because they don't have many opportunities there. Both persons live according to their priorities and are happy; both believe life of another one sucks. And there are plenty of other dimensions in which the same thing can take place.
