Why?

I do not understand why crazy people like Saddam Hussein continue to get media time to spew his rantings. It not like he is saying anything different every other day. Each time I see a headline like this "Saddam denounces 'comedy' court," my respect for the news organization lessens. This time it is BBC World News.

Report about him and other crazies, but sop quoting them when they aren't saying anything new. And sometimes even if they are saying something new.
