Yolanda King

Yolanda King is dead! I don't know why that is news. Yes, she was the daughter of Martin Luther King Jr. So why is it newsworthy that she has died of apparent heart failure at the age of 51? I think the media thinks it "should" be news so they report it. It makes me wonder what legitimate news story was not reported because the time was utilized to report her death when it has no real impact on the vast majority of American citizens. I am sure that her family is in shock to lose her at such a young age but for the remainder of the country, her death will soon be forgotten.
