Why in the world?

Of the thousands, or millions, of things that happen in the world every day, why are the same select few items considered newsworthy by every tentacle of the media, and why are they reported at the same time. Why do they have to be coordinated timewise? Is it really newsworthy that Tom Brady's wife mouths off at his teammates, and if she'd been drinking wine when she did so? If one media venue deems it so, why do all have to follow suit? There must be at least a few other things that happened that day deserving of some coverage. Sure, only so many stories can be covered, but why does everybody have to report the same ones? The other morning, early, one channel announced they were going to give the "disturbing details" of the man who we already knew had slaughtered and blown up his family. Whatever disturbing details that lay beyond that, I didn't want to know, so as quickly as I could, I changed the channel. The channel I switched to was covering the same story, albeit somewhat apologetically, so I tried another, and another. Same story, and first thing in the morning. I turned the TV off, but it didn't help much. The noonday news, and the evening news were still focusing on the grisly details even worse than cold-blooded murder. No wonder we become inured.
