The "surge" has begun in Iraq. There is violence in Iran. Russia is complaining about the US throwing its weight around. 100,000 manufacturing jobs lost in 2006. So let us look at the leading stories for CNN's web site:
Girls' school bombed in Iran, gunmen besieged
Anna Nicole Smith's dead son gets it all
Video shows apparent al Qaeda attack
Pelosi: Iraq vote sets new direction
Mom yells for 911 aid in knife fight over fetus
Police: Attackers video homeless man's beating
Pastor falls from God's house to the big house
Britney Spears reportedly in, out of rehab
Weather woes batter JetBlue
White skin still the best skin, filmmaker finds
Elephant won't play polo, trashes van instead
'Lost' loses millions in ratings war
I see only 3 stories that are worth my reading. All the rest are total BS. Now let us look to the other side of the Atlantic for their headlines. Are they trying to be any more informative?
US House rejects Bush Iraq plan
Seven jailed for Turkey bombings
Smith left her estate to dead son
Anti-US protest planned in Italy
Clashes reported in Iranian city
Italy orders CIA kidnapping trial
King of Nepal is stoned by crowd
Mauritania pilot outwits hijacker
Paraglider survives 32,000ft fall
On the BBC I see 3 stories I could careless about. Sort of backwords from the CNN site. Who is trying to inform whom? Clearly CNN is more interested in pushing fluff and white-bread and not anything really news worthy. It might scare the kiddies.
But to be fair let us look at CBS NEWS. Perhaps the former bastion of Cronkite and Rather is better at informing America:
Iraqis Upbeat, U.S. Guarded On Crackdown
NY Man Charged With Trying To Fund Terror
House Rebukes Bush On Iraq
Anna Nicole Smith's Will Is Released
N.J. To Honor Out-Of-State Gay Marriages
Docs: Patients Lie, And It's Bad For Them
Sort of a mixed bag from CBS. I am amazed how the death of a bimbo is in all the papers. Now on to FOX News!

Hey the 84 year old having sex with the kid pushed Anna Nicoles will to the bottom of the page! Way to go FOX!
Okay back accross the water to Reuters News:

What lowly reporting from Reuters! No Anna Nicole Smith at all!! How can we count on them to give us our daily dose of non-news? On the other hand how about them moles? Now I will go to Russa. What are the Russians learning from PRAVDA?

Hell yes!!!! That is why we and the Rusky's could kill each other off! We have too much in common. Such as trival and low-row media headlines! Pravda has the most cleavage of any of the websites too. I wonder what the Chinese are reading?
