There's been a lot of speculation that the parents have signed an exclusive media deal with one of the networks. I have seen a lot of unfounded rumors posted about the media's involvement in this case, under the whole "my opinion" guise. I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to discuss this supposed exclusive media deal.
If the parents have an exclusive media deal, then how were they able to give interviews to both ABC and FOX? If both of those networks paid for interviews, then they have a media deal with them, but it's not an exclusive deal.
If you look at the shows that are given this case the most coverage, it doesn't seem too out of the ordinary. You have all the HLN shows, which always focus on true crime. You have Judge Jeanine, another crime show. Then you have Megyn Kelly, and Good Morning America, which is a 4-hour long show, and has always given coverage to cases in the past. It's not like the case is being mentioned on every show on, say, FOX every single day, and every other network is completely ignoring it.
