They love anything that makes America look bad. This plays right to their tired stereotypes as well.

You gotta entertain the mob while Rome is burning or they might turn on you. Pointing the finger at America leaves them less time to consider their crumbling society.

Exactly. Can't imagine if the situation were reversed that the Houston Chronicle (for example) would run a piece with photos and details about some sex offender in England... and they've got plenty over there, for sure. But as you said, this story fits their needs.
