Sure, news can be interesting, but most of its appeal comes from the subject and how it is presented. News evokes emotions about the world surrounding us, and can lead to generalizations about the way society is functioning. Often times these generalizations stem from the news that is available to us, which has a motive of making money, not of presenting the truth in an unbiased manner.
