CNN's Howard Kurtz Rips His Network's Coverage Of Casey Anthony Case (VIDEO)

Howard Kurtz had harsh words for the media and its coverage of the Casey Anthony trial.

On Sunday's "Reliable Sources," the CNN host attacked his own network for going "utterly bonkers" in its coverage of the not guilty verdict. Kurtz called the coverage "deafening and overwhelming."

One of the show's panelists, investigative reporter Diane Dimond, noted that it was CNN's sister station, HLN that followed the trial from its infancy.

Kurtz reiterated his disgust for the Anthony obsession on Monday, during Fox Business' "Imus in the Morning."

"It was great in terms of ratings, I thought it was appalling in terms of the way it just seemed to take over the American media," Kurtz said. "It's basically a local crime story. There are a lot of kids killed in the United States every year."

Imus shot back, "You're part of the problem. You're part of the media. Become a brain surgeon if you're so upset with the media."
