You frame it as psychological intervention to stop killers.

But media and audience live in symbiotic relationship with killers. Everyone gets value from the killings.

There really isn't that much profit involved in this coverage. It seems much more likely that it's being driven by accident rather than by any nefariousness on the part of our evil media overlords.
