Why does bad news get buried?

Good news stays good. Bad news gets worse. But humans tend to bury bad news and share good. Why do we do that? When I proposed this topic I was thinking about "news" as happenings within a business or relationship. The idea that leaders never hear how bad things really are until they explode onto their desk. But other people in this conversation thought about how the press only shares bad news.

 

Listen in as James H. Lee, Sara Oblak Speicher, Steve Thomson and I talk through this odd human behavior.
