Again, exactly right. 30 years ago we had to wait for the paper the next day, or listen for the 6pm news which only had an hour to cover everything. NOW, they have 24 hours of time that THEY have to fill...so they do it by exploiting the news. Anna Nicole Smith, the OJ trial, Britney, and on and on and on. On days like this when the world is wondering what the hell is going on in the minds of these shooters, the news network brass are probably sitting in the backroom thinking, "Yeah, another one!".

If they DIDN'T think that way, their coverage would be much more delicate.
