Silly Breaking News of the Day

CNN just sent me an e-mail to confirm that “The Pastor Behind ‘Burn a Koran Day’ Says the Event Will Go On as Planned.”

How in the world does that qualify as breaking news?

    Two weeks ago, I received a “Breaking News” alert that Bristol Palin would be appearing on Dancing With The Stars.

    That qualifies as neither “Breaking” nor “News”

    Down here in Florida the Florida news media once felt an urge to report on a lawyer’s stomach ache.
