| Casey Anthony |
The Casey Anthony murder trial is going on and the nation waits on the edge of its seat for a verdict. Most of us have seen some coverage of the young mother accused of killing her young daughter.
We are told that America is captivated by this story. Are we? Why is this a major story? There are murders committed in all 50 states. There's no shortage of murder. So why the big deal here?
I'll answer my own question. News is a visual thing. It's visual in newspapers and magazines. It's visual on television and on the Internet. News is also a business. If the public cares about a story, it will be covered in greater depth, and the news people will profit from the story.
So, the answer to why the Casey Anthony case is plastered all over creation? She's pretty and she likes to party. That's it! That's the wild card that puts this murder case at the "top of the deck" of all other murder cases. It sounds shallow, but we all seem to want to know about the fate of the hot chick who could get the hot seat. If I mentioned that this blog has thousands of hot Casey Anthony pictures, the blog would be swamped with hits. (I'll keep you posted.)
This story sells...and we're buying it.
