In my perception, the connotation is generally negative towards the person being referred to in the news stories, much like the term "skeletons in the closet". If i were to refer to things that trouble me as demons, I don't know that it makes them any more difficult to deal with, but it would sure sound worse if I were the subject of a news story.
