This is kind of a disingenuous take. What do you expect the news to do? Every morning 1 hour of "We are still pre-trial, no new evidence..." What piece of news persists for months and months after it happens, especially something as "self contained" as a murder.

And Hillary's emails, the 2020 election, the border "crisis" etc. They just keep shit on repeat until it its no longer useful

No election is standing on Luigi though.

Yeah, I had the same reaction over the summer when people rediscovered the 2016 lawsuit that accused Trump of raping a 13 year old. Everyone was like, "Why is no one covering this???" Because they did. Eight years ago. Nothing new happened, it just got picked up by social media again.

"List of other people we think Luigi Mangione would like to kill" would be a good start.

Every day? You overestimate the attention span of the American public

US public also has goldfish memory. Its a wonder anyone bothers to even make new movies.
