Why so cruel?

All the recent discussion about derogatory comments in the media is worthwhile. Why do we consider cruelty so entertaining? It seems like an awful lot of entertainers, and a lot of what we consider entertaining is people being cruel to each other. Please be careful what you're listening to and watching.

TV shows all crime forms in gross detail, why? How did we get to be so eager for ugly and repulsive pictures. From time to time I, accidentally, watch "the worst" but I am proven wrong by an even worst display. Finally, and for the first time, many said showing a bad person glorified him, demeaned the 32 victims and was reprehensible and the big powerful TV Network stopped (for the first time ever) -no apology.
Do they have any sense of Shame? Did they develop a sense of embarrasment or shame or do they live for the moment, like worms do.
