Why is the US media so obsessed with the royal wedding?

If they are spending resources on this, what important things are they not covering?

Media write what people read, not the other way 'round.
People in the U.S. are fascinated with an American marrying into the British Royal Family. If they weren’t, the media wouldn’t cover it.

@bijouxbroussard Did the fascination create the narrative or did the narrative create the fascination?
@SuicideBiProxy2 The U.S. has probably always been fascinated with England and the Royal Family. There are newspaper articles from back when King Edward abdicated in order to marry an American woman, so [b]this[/b] was going to be news.

gee, outside of some specials i have not seen much coverage. but she IS American and half black so this is a particularly historic wedding. besides, we need some fun every now and then.

They're not covering a lot. Well, let's say most of the media is not covering a lot. Obviously, some of the media is actually doing their job.

I'm a Brit and bored with the Royal Wedding even though it hasn't happened yet.

It's been that way in USA since Queen Victoria's era.
