as más noticias apelam para a nossa mente

Context:

As nossas atitudes são mais fortemente influenciadas por noticias negativas do que por boas noticias.

Why We “Love” Bad News
Alice G. Walton

Bad news — stories about tragedy, close calls, and danger — seems to call to us from tabloids at the supermarket checkout counter, social media sites, and those irresistible stories at the bottom of so many web pages. Whether we gravitate to bad news or the media just seems to feed it to us (“if it bleeds, it leads” is a common journalistic quip), negative events permeate our collective consciousness.

Our brains are programmed to pay attention to negative things.
