Jacquielynn Floyd

It was nice to see that Jacquielynn Floyd did admit the media has wrong perceptions sometimes. The media likes to hype up stories so that the public gets drawn to them. This makes the media and television channels money because the more viewers they have, the more money their station makes. Sarah Walker was a well-known real estate agent that was stabbed to death on July 8, 2006. The media was all over this case and were pointing fingers at her loved ones. They believed the murderer had to be someone that was close to her. We now know that the murderer was just a stranger that robbed her and killed her, so she would not be available as a witness. The media was wrong all along, which Jacquielynn Floyd admits to. The media should focus on all crimes and not glorify and focus on one in particular. It bothers me that some cases get a lot of coverage, and more gruesome crimes get little coverage. The media chooses which case will get the most attention from its viewers and decides to cover that story, which gets really annoying. For example, OJ Simpson is on every news channel I turn on. I am so sick of hearing about him when there are so many other things the media should be talking about!
