The media seems to be creating a new phenomena, overexposure and desensitization.

Its almost like therapy: We go from horror/denial to finally a dull acceptance.

When PRincess Dianna Died it was so over exposed that after the massive out pouring of Grief and millions in flowers a mere year later barely anyone came out for a memorial. Their grieving was done, and past done by TV. The media took it all from them.

So in some ways having to see it all the time lessens the impact as time goes on, like constantly being forced to confront fears and phobias.
