We all come from screwed up families so we want to see a family more messed up than our own.

I think we hear about the dysfunctional families because criminals usually come from that environment. So, they set up interviews with everyone that was connected to that person. It gets nauseating after a while, and this type of reporting is sensationalism. Let's face it sensationalism sells. What really gets me is "Dogs" son sold a taped conversation for $15,000. How many others do the same thing? You are right media is preoccupied with the idiosyncrasies of others. Down with sensationalism in journalism.
