Well, perhaps because it is a big deal. Reporting on the celebrity condolences or interrupting morning television to broadcast the opening hearing is ridiculous, but this event is tragic and deserves the coverage.
People love to slow down to look at an accident. Does that make it right to impede traffic?
The media love events like this. They pretend shock and horror and beat the topic to death. Why did the media during Katrina focus on a black woman saying that looters were only taking what they are owed?
Why did they beat a dead horse about crime during Katrina?
The media loves crime and the media loves shock. In Reality crime was pretty mild compared to the reporting.
Main stream media needs to be taken to task for their practices...
Gotta give him his fame and celebrity, so that the virus can be spread, ensuring a continued supply of mass-murders. Job security for future generations of 'journalists.'

Good lord. I can't believe some people are this cynical. What a miserable way to go through life.
The Seattle Times used to have a policy of never reporting the names of gangs in stories about gang-related crimes. The thinking was that the gangs feed off of seeing their names in the papers, and why feed them? It was a rare case of responsible policy from the MSM.

I agree 100%, OP. I feel furious sitting here watching him with his dyed hair and he's so unconcerned with that he did he's practically nodding off the entire time. How disrespectful. He shouldn't get one drop of media coverage. He deserves nothing but a swift kick to the after life. People do things like this for the fame and celebrity.
