ElD,
Tragically thousands of innocent people are murdered in the United States every year, yet only a select few are ever really publicized by the news media. The media is in the business of selling advertising, and gruesome murders certainly titilate the average person's curiosity. When there's dead airspace to fill, the crime beat is always an old media standby to attract eyeballs. Its unfortunate for the select few victims who are exploited in this way, but as long as Americans' are fascinated by it, the media will continue to cover these "gruesome" murders.
FWIW, here's the gruesome murder the Arizona media are currently sensationalizing.
