The Horror, the Horror. How Reporters Love the Horror

From a Huffpost interview with retiring AP reporter Richard Pyle:

HUFFPOST: And then it didn't happen. You have to admit, Richard, that reporters kind of want bad news to happen so they can get a great story, right?

PYLE: No! I didn't wish for bad things to happen. It's more that if something bad does happen, I want to be the witness to it.
