They are interested because the media is shoving it down everyone's throats. Even Fox News shows were giving this story like 30 minutes to the hour. Not to mention, they already knew the damn thing blew up, but kept the suspense going for 3 days long enough to muffle the real news stories and testimonials this week. Sure is convenient. Just saying.
If it failed to get them views, they would stop in a second.
If they stopped too soon, viewers would switch to the other channel to see the latest on those rich people, trapped in complete darkness, crammed together in a tiny tin can, slowly running out of oxygen, banging on the hull hoping someone would hear them. (Or at least people were thinking at the time.) Of course that is a human interest story.
There is no conspiracy. They are trying to make money by attracting views to things that people are interested in (at the moment).
That's Capitalism. They are filling a market desire. You're for Capitalism, right?
Now, I think the coverage is a bit much. Not as bad as the Malaysian airliner story, but I quickly lost interest. However, all I see is media grasping for views to make money on advertising. Not some vast Reptilian Illuminati conspiracy.
I get it, dude. Conspiracies are a lot more fun. Real or not.
