这就是为何我们对坏消息、坏行为尤其是媒体对高层人物落马报道如此津津乐道的原因。

This is why we are obsessed with bad news, bad behavior, and especially the media's stories that exploit the downfall of people who are at the top of their game.

中国官方并未就这些调查表态，不过部分国内媒体已经报导了落马官员的名字。

Officially, China hasn't said anything about the investigations, but the names have been reported in some of the country's media.
