I just do not understand why the media (mostly TV media) feels as though they must completely oversaturate the airwaves with coverage.

The girl in Austria? Because it's so fucked up, that's why.

I know the JonBenet coverage is over the top but just imagine how much worse it would be if the media could figure out how to bash Bush with that story?

It's a cover up by the Bush administration to distract from the illegal war in Iraq and against the good muslim terrorists people.
Bush's fault!

I got you the perfect answer. Cause in a capitalist society the newsmakers dont broadcast what you SHOULD watch, but what you WANT to watch. It's all about the ratings. People want to stick their heads straight up their ass, they dont wanna hear about Terrorism or Iraq or whatever, Would you even consider America to be a country at war by how people act? So right now we wnat to go back to the "escapist" 1990's with OJ trials and Presidential Blow jobs, let's put off 9-11 for another decade.

It won't bring more heat on the bastards. It just gives that ugly bitch Nancy Grace more to whine about. I just can't stand her mug or that child molester's either.

Let me make a bold prediction. The next six months worth of news will be a repeat of this asshattery...

The word you're searching for is "salacious."

Nothing new...

The country reacted the same way when:

Lizzie Borden was tried for murdering her parents in 1893.

Bruno Hauptman was tried for murdering Linbergh's baby in 1935.

The Clutter family was murdered in 1959 (The book "In Cold Blood" by Turman Capote is about these murders... a movie (Capote) came out a while ago about this...we are STILL facisnated with this crime)

Charles Manson and his hippie cult commited the Tate/Labianca murders in 1969.


David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and yes, OJ Simpson are just a few more notables...


So you see... Sensational coverage is nothing new in the media. Been going on for well over 100 years in this country, probably longer.
