The unwarranted airtime given to the Laci Peterson case is simply a tactic to boost ratings by covering the story that has the broadest public appeal—and, sadly, a case involving a young wealthy white woman has more appeal to the public than a case invovling a poor immigrant. But if the media is truly only interested in this bottom line, can their work still be considered journalism...

"Thirty-five defendants are facing 23 murder or attempted-murder charges." Rapid-fire indictments have scooped up Bonannos from Staten Island to the Bronx. In addition to squeezing informants and clocking countless hours of surveillance, two C-10 agents used "forensic accounting" techniques to follow a paper trail through Massino's murky bookkeeping. The knockout blow was delivered in September, when James (Big Lou) Tartaglione recorded acting Bonanno boss Anthony (Tony Green) Urso allegedly conspiring to murder the families...
