It's called "capitalism". The demands of the marketplace. Channels are covering it 24/7 since it pulls huge ratings ... means more $$$ for stockholders. Hard-core pornography would pull even bigger ratings. Are you suggesting they program hard-core porn in search of more money? Simply because it draws ratings is not a reason to broadcast it.

The Laci crowd is mainly women. If you're talking about drawing a male crowd I'm not sure how many would watch it as avidly day after day as this case. And I believe there is a restriction on hard core porn on TV.
As for "is it okay" ... may not. But who decides? Do you want to go out and legislate that no channel can cover this trial? No tabloid can be in business? Next thing you know, you'll decide that people can't some in restaurants.

No, I'm not suggesting it and I can't fathom how you could imagine I did.
