How so?
I know it's fun to blame the media, but at the end of the day they are just giving us what we want.
If people want non-sensationalized responsible hard news all the time, someone is going to give it to them and make a pile of money in the process. If people want "news" about dead golddigging strippers or a videotape of some crazy before he goes on a rampage, which we obviously do, then that's what we'll get.
I do agree with the original poster though. We can force a change in how the media covers this kind of tragedy. I don't think it's going to happen though.
