OSCAR PISTORIUS : INTERNATIONAL NON-ENTITY.

I can hardly believe the amount of time the BBC is spending drivelling on about Oscar Pistorius and the alleged murder of his girlfriend.
 
Pistorius is a not particularly brilliant athlete. His only claim to fame is that he runs on artifical legs and has made a nuisance of himself in recent years by demanding to be allowed to compete in events alongside able-bodied athletes. Why on earth does something he's alleged to have done in his palatial home in South Africa have any relevance to us in the UK and why is our media devoting huge amounts of time to this story to the exclusion of far more important and relevant items ?
 
What is wrong with us and, more specifically, what is wrong with our media outlets ?
