I've come up with another excuse for running
stories that upset people for no good reason: they "shame" the miscreants who did the rotten deed. But I'd guess in most cases there's nothing to shame (the usual defense of said miscreants is, Duh, I dunno), and thousands of newspaper buyers get up to their cups of coffee, read a story that upsets them for no reason, throw the newspaper in the trash, and still have a bad day. WHAT IS THE POINT OF THESE STORIES? You won't get rid of the jaysonism just by getting rid of the Jayson.
