Meaningless true-crime coverage

This article has the usual meaningless true-crime-TV listings seen in so many other crime articles, in this case

Roger Kibbe's crimes were covered in an episode of Forensic Files on Court TV (now TruTV) during season three.[10][11] Kibbe's case was also covered in the documentary film called "Profiling Evil" that was broadcast on MSNBC.[12]

The citations for these shows are the shows themselves, and that's not enough. Absent a source explaining how these shows tell the reader something about the subject, they have no function in the article. There's no more reason to call them out in the article text than there is to list every newspaper report on the case. EEng 19:00, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
