12. of course it was a feeding frenzy, that' s the nature of it

I just don't get people that get particularly upset about this kind of stuff.
TV media has no responsibility to be anything actually.
It's all entertainment, a charade, propaganda and a medium for advertisements to sell things.

Sure it's nice when in that process it actually does manage to inform and be serious, but expecting such a thing is a complete pipe dream. Why pick on their coverage of Anna Nicole? That coverage is just part and parcel of the whole shebang.

I haven't owned a TV in 10 years and this is one of the reasons.
My advice to people is if the media frenzy bothers you so much when the media does this kind of thing, then just turn off your TV --- there's noone making you watch it except for yourself & if you want to get "real" news or focus on other news all you have to do is look elsewhere.
