Now that there is no more news in the Gabby Petito case, the media has settled on the Alec Baldwin prop gun shooting as its latest obsession. ~

It's the familiar pattern: breathless wall-to-wall coverage [i]ad nauseam[/i], 24-7, almost as if nothing else important is happening and worth covering.

What's your prediction for how long this will last? Weeks? Months?

I don’t know what your main news source is, however I have seen very limited coverage and discussion about Alex Baldwin
It is a serious news story and should be covered until the investigation is over. That could take several weeks

@GJOFJ3 I look at several outlets, including the New York Times, New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal. Of course it's a serious matter, and so was Gabby Petito, but some outlets treat it as the only serious matter there is to cover, which it is not.
