The ultimate reality is that greater TV ratings are attained when broadcasting grim news. This pretty much parallels all those movies and TV shows - the good ones develop powerful villains and grim plotlines, only for the good guys to work like hell just to save the world, town, family, etc. Humanity prides themselves on conflict and a story without conflict is nothing interesting.
