A lot of much smarter folks will have other things to say about the legacy of O.J. Simpson, but I will say this:
His murder trial marks a pivotal moment in the decline of American broadcast news. It accelerated in our media environment an unapologetic centering of flash over substance, spin over good faith, and provocation over consideration.
It permanently damaged broadcast news in ways from which it has never recovered, nor have we.
