Yeah, I guess my perspective was that the media normally does this and so from that angle this case doesn't seem to be getting any more focus than normal.
I may have missed that there is opportunity here for a discussion on if that amount of coverage should be normal.
Fair point, this kind of thing is typical. I just wish it wasn't. I have no problem with true crime where the events and circumstances are examined after the fact in an objective way. What I dislike is how the families tragedy is being presented with constant updates and headlines designed to create an illusion of urgency and create clicks and pageviews.
I think that's a pretty reasonable position. We don't need up to date information as it's revealed in the trial.
