Much of this sort of media is just "journalists" looking to get some eyes on a post to develop their influencer cred, resulting in rushed posts to be the "first".

Think about who these journalists are (picture them in your mind), it's logical that they'd focus on human interest stories to get the emotional gut punch that will drive the post viral. It works with them, so they assume it'll work with their viewers.
