WRKO gabmeister milking St. Guillen murder for ratings?

Mark Jurkowitz writes that WRKO's John DePetro has every right to talk about Imette St. Guillen, but that he might be getting out of control with his "she was asking for trouble" shtik, which he's been busy hawking on everything from the O'Reily Factor to NECN:

... WRKO sure looks like they're shamelessly milking this for all its worth. And even in a talk show culture dying for subject matter to fill the voracious 24/7 maw, the so-called debate about gender and risk has outlived its value, serving now primarily as an exploitative sideshow to a genuine tragedy. ...
