作者：
Highlights：
• Neural and self-reported moral evaluations of antisocial news stories following entertaining introduction were evaluated.
• Antisocial severity was reduced for antisocial content following entertaining vs traditional news introductions.
• Entertaining introduction indicated neural signs of taxing more cognitive control resources and diminishing moral saliency.
• Entertaining vs traditional introduction showed reduced functional connectivity of the mentalizing brain network.
• Results contribute to a better understanding of how entertainment features influence sociomoral evaluation of news stories.
