Because fear drives viewers, and viewers drive profit.

It's always been that way. How many times have you heard something like "What common activity endangers you and your childrens' safety everyday? More at 11."

It's purely a hook to get you to tune in later on....and find out they're talking about how staircases can be dangerous, or something else totally stupid. But hey, it got you to watch didn't it? That's all they care about.
