My theory is a lot depends on who is controlling the news.
The people now controlling it (meaning TV news directors, editors etc) are from the generation who grew up with Whitney commanding the pop charts. That, plus the fact of her dramatic decline over the years, informs what they choose to put on the air.
Add that to instant news - the news was out minutes after she drew her last breath - plus our innate tendency to not be able to tear our eyes away from a train wreck - and you have the TMZ TV show reporting, with each person's opinion, every detail.
