At a risk of being shot down... I am not sure that the DM & co are entirely to blame here. Besides various pollsters showed over the last few years that the readers of said publications aren't the likeliest to respond to this type of poll or frankly any type of poll.
Bad news seems to be reported disproportionately by pretty much all news/media outlets and the exceptionally bad news makes the headlines because, well, precisely because it is exceptional. But the perception of the public may be skewed because these pieces of exceptional news are reported more and more - competing journalists trying hard to fill rolling 24 hrs news channels/internetz news channels part of the problem here?
Very interesting piece though.
