Let us talk about sensationalism. Something unusual attracts us. It is said that if a dog bites a man, the newspaper will not publish it, but if a man bites a dog, then it will get published because that is something unusual. Gandhiji also used to say, "If you want to read what I did not speak yesterday, then read tomorrow’s Times of India newspaper," because that is interesting to us. What he usually speaks, is not interesting. So, all our life, we are trying to find some unusual thing that happened; we are looking for it. It may actually be nothing but we make something out of it.
