So what is news anymore?

The last two weeks has given us an abundance of outrageous news stories, but i want to know if they are really news? Anna Nicole Smith has been plastered all over the news casts since her death over a week ago. So i want to know if every time a b or c list celebrity passes away if there affairs will be covered like a presidential death. I was watching CNN last week and enjoying JC Watts question global warming and Wolf Biltzer took us to breaking news, the parities in the Anna Nicole case were having a joint news conference. Are you kidding me since when is Anna Nicole's life breaking news. She was never breaking new while she was alive. I think i speak for much of America when i say who cares. We need to hold our news casters to higher standards. I think we should expect them to cover issues important to the American people. We have a war that is that is going poor at best, we have a build up of rhetoric with Iran, and a presidential race. Are these issues not important to cover? I am sick and tired of turning on the TV and seeing Anna Nicole and Britney going absolutely nuts. This is not what we need. Cover things that matter, not the sad stories of the rich and the never that famous.
