Media Sensationalism

I do think that in some instances there is too much media sensationalism. I think that when this happens it sometimes tends to take away from the importance of the story and makes the viewers focus more on how over baring the whole story is. I guess one example would have to be the Anna Nicole Smith stories. It is getting so out of control the amount of coverage that is going on. It is fine to talk about her if you want to do it in a respectful way, but come on the girl was a human just like all of us, and the media is showing her no respect. I think that this is something that has started to evolve more over the most recent years, now that it is more about ratings and not as much about news worthy material.
