All Anna Nicole Smith, All The Time

HeadlineFeb 19, 2007

And in media news, a new study has shown that cable and radio talk shows spent far more time discussing Anna Nicole Smith than the Iraq War in the two days following her death. According to the Project for Excellence in Journalism, cable and radio talk shows dedicated 37 percent of their programming to her death. Fourteen percent of the programming focused on the debate over Iraq, and less than 10 percent focused on the race for the White House.
