The story line was that the hidden agenda of the media onslaught was to get her to kill herself because she was chosen (without her knowledge) to be the sacrificial "maiden" to ensure a good harvest. She didn't succeed in killing herself, so they had some ritual and did away with her. I couldn't watch that part (South Park is disturbing!) but it certainly made the same point you are making.
