CNN - This is news!?!

- Start date
Well, a few days ago they had "Britney Spears in a minor accident in Mercedes" on the main CNN page. :-\

Little old now, but still very applicable from the look of things.

What else is there to report on? It's not like we're in the middle of an election or a major police action/war or anything.
Who gives a fuck! Why are you wasting bandwidth with this bullshit!
Almost as bad as when Fox "News" broke into whatever and started reporting "BREAKING NEWS!" that dealt with a dog that was stuck on the ice and the firemen had to go get him.
It lasted 20+ minutes, most of the time the dog was on some rocks near the shoreline. It ended when the dog walked off the ice and wondered away. I don't think the firemen were ever within 50 feet of the dog.

Well, what do you expect the /Entertainment section to be used for? More Brittany stories? That's better?

The worst part is the Iraq war has become yesterday's news. I guess it wasn't making money anymore so it's regulated to a minor blip on the radar. Now it's all Spears/Hilton/Stewart, all the time.
The news industry is not primarily concerned with informing people of important events and issues. It is primarily concerned with engaging its audience enough to motivate them to read, watch or listen to sponsors' advertisements.

Except the Britney Spears news item I mentioned earlier was listed at the top of the page as part of Latest News (and stayed there for a long time). I'm guessing the news item T'Baio mentioned was also like that (although I didn't bother checking at the time).
What did the dog wonder about, as he walked off the ice? I wonder.
I think we're all missing the point that Martha Stewart's dog has died.
