I mean, if his casket isn't carried in a 1994 White Ford Bronco they are missing out on a huge opportunity.
A legit argument can be made that the arrest and trial that followed perhaps marked the beginning of the end of America due to its impact on how we cover news. It began the long slide of news more focused on entertainment and other stupid issues instead of more important items. Worse, the ratings and profit changed the landscape for tv and cable news to see the profit in less news and more argumentative speculation and argument type programming. News became entertainment, cliff notes.

The Iran Hostsge Crisis was the start of “more news”. OJ trial certainly escalated “opinion and commentary presented as news”.

It was headed that way already with the tabloid news shows that existed at the time, but it certainly highlighted what was happening.
