If you were a CNN reporter, would you rather go to a fancy wedding or a disaster region?

I can't help but think this factors a bit into where the reporters are going. It also saddens me that we as a society are willing drive our attention (and ad dollars) to weddings over disasters and wars.

Do the reporters really have that much say where they go? (Or at least enough to alter their overall distribution?)

Panem et circenses. It's keeping the public's attention diverted from our clown governments comprising the deplorable, the despotic, the despised and the damned.
