Casey Anthony in talks for interview

This should not come as a shock to anyone, but reports are coming out that Casey Anthony has now inked a $1 million deal to tell her story - whatever that one might be. You can see the article that broke the news here.

TMZ says its sources report that NBC, ABC and CBS are all competing for an interview and that there's a huge price tag involved. Click here to see that story.

Utterly amazing and astounding. And I mean that in a bad way. It seems as though Nancy Grace was correct when she said that the next big steps for Casey were to secure an interview and a possible book deal. It's amazing that the networks would try and snatch her up given the nature of her "story" and the sentiment of the American public toward her.

But still it proves that money is the prime motivator in almost every instance and that no matter what, businesses are willing to put dollar signs over the green any day.

What is more astounding is that news organizations are actually paying her to hear her story. I cannot believe these reports. If this is true, then it is the very perversion of what journalism is suppose to be about. These organizations have said in the past that they don't pay for interviews, but according to TMZ Anthony could earn money through the licensing of photos or other material.

At any rate if she does score an interview, will you be watching?
