The media is a weapon of mass distraction.
When they make a big deal out of Kate and Wills being with child, changes to our immigration act that will allow employers to pay overseas workers less than Australian workers (thus removing the incentive to look for Australian workers), slip to the back page.

Some people find the idea of a monarchy in 2014 anachronistic, even offensive.
Agree with both of these honestly. I definitely think it has it's place to be reported on, but the hype just bores me and has me rolling my eyes so far into the back of my head.
