Media feeding frenzy

about Anna Nicole Smith. Loss of life is always tragic. And perhaps interesting up to a point, in this case concern for her baby. But continuous coverage with nothing new to add is the definition of blithering.

Why do they do it? Because it sells. People must watch for hours and in droves to make it worth media efforts. At least Lisa Marie Nowak, the astronaut who drove 900 miles to pepper spray a rival, and her family must be relieved that her story was released from the media clutches.
