According to Osho, journalists highlight the negative because they must feed readers’ morbid appetites: good news isn’t news; only the unusual, sexual, violent, or scandalous sells. The consumer decides, so reporters search for and magnify the thorns and ignore the flower. It reflects society’s repressed, neurotic mind, not the ashram; thus they skip meditation and inner growth, which few demand or understand.
Reporters sell what people want, and most people want shocking, naughty, or scary stories—not quiet things like meditation—so the bad gets spotlighted and the good is ignored.
