Media Saturation

It doesn't really need to be said that the death of a child is tragic, whether accidental or intentional. However, it seems like whenever I turn the television to a news channel, any news channel, they are talking about this Casey Anthony case. I really don't understand what it is about this particular case that has the media in such a frenzy, not to mention stories about things that actually affect the population (which this case does not). There have to be tons of cases of similar significance around the country at any particular time that aren't seeing the light of day, let alone to the magnitude of this case. 

Well, I guess the good news is that this case is almost over and these media people can go back to talking about the train wreck that is Lindsay Lohan. That's good television.
