Dog bites man is not news. Man bites dog is news.

In other news: The obese Tom from next door got a heart attack and died. The 84-year-old grandma from across the street is still in hospital, and the cancer is getting worse. Stay tuned to find out if she is still alive tomorrow.

Yes. The combined effect is maybe not great, though. A news source that just covers everything in proportion to some measure of impact would actually be neat.

It threw me off too. They're saying dogs tend to bite people. It's not really a story. Now if someone bit a dog, there might be something to talk about.
