Consistent coverage as opposed to good coverage

OK, here's my final post on the Ronni Chasen murder, and it's from the LA Times. The link above is to an opinion piece that puts the Chasen murder in the realm of the deaths of John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe and Sal Mineo. Sorry to say this, but only in LA.

Is this supposed to be a suitable substitute for news? Interpretative reporting is to be lauded, and pattern recognition often requires higher thought, but this story doesn't fit into either category.
