To me they allow for a preemptive strike before the court of public opinion can really start tainting a jury pool. Plus my understanding is they get a little more access as far as questioning and evidence.
All of the crying I hear about the media coverage is from the instant it happens, not later when the grand jury is meeting.
The media just reports any information they get. I don't know why people think the media only present one side. For example in Ferguson the media released everything the police gave them as soon as it came out.
