Shocked None Dare Call it Schadenfreude*

The concluding paragraph:
That's crazy

What isn’t normal tends to be intriguing. People generally crave anything that breaks the cycle of everyday life, and who could blame them? However, what’s crazy to some might not be crazy to others. Every disease, no matter how crazy, has a victim. And sometimes, just recognizing that these victims exist is a step in the right direction. [Italics added.]
Who indeed could blame them? Actually, this is probably a useful metric on the Fox demographic overall, to say nothing of how Fox News keeps baiting its viewers with so much sensationalism. Which are perhaps the most frightening things about the story. . . .
