The thing to remember though newspaper editors need to fill papers, news program producers need to fill the time slots they have for the programs, consequently when no fresh news is happening they will rework the same information just phrasing it a different way and make the story bigger.

Yep I mean, if you look back on it, it was worse. You'd never get another serial killer these days. They'd be caught pretty quick. We've been hardened to such acts with The Yorkshire Ripper and The Moors Murders, we know what it's all about. It shocks me that people get outraged at such acts these days, as if this is the only one that has ever happened.
