There is an article that is one of the top stories for msn's home news website about how they were charging Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend-lawyer with conspiracy. The only conviction against Smith's boyfriend-lawyer Howard K. Stern was for giving false names and acting by fraud to obtain prescriptions. He was acquitted of seven other charges. The fact that this is still one of the top stories in the media after she had died in 2007 is astonishing to me. They are still cracking down on her boyfriend and convicting him of charges. The media will not let go of the Anna Nicole Smith death, again relating to how we talked about a certain case being over-publicized. At least they are telling the public how the case has turned out after 3 years, but it is still crazy how after 3 years it is still a top story.
I was this on several other websites as well. It is completely amazing that this is still such a huge topic three years down the road. I mean isn't there more important things to be covered in the news, and to inform the public about. This truly does baffle me. At the same time you can't completely blame the media because they wouldn't cover and air stuff like this if the people watching didn't want to hear about it. So maybe we should start looking at ourselves before we point the finger at the media.
