America's Obsession With Casey Anthony: Is It a Fatal Attraction?
The obsession over the O.J. Simpson and the Michael Jackson trials were understandable. O.J. Simpson was a great football player and mediocre actor famous for commercials. Michael Jackson is a beloved musician and showman who created great music. Both were national and international figures and celebrities.
The obsession over Casey Anthony is baffling to me. She is a selfish self centered lying little twit with no redeemable qualities. After three years of nonstop coverage I was relieved that it was coming to an end; so much for wishful thinking. The media is still obsessing over what will become of her.
When can we get to the business of reporting on some things that are actually important?
