too much news
this "news" is symptomatic of how these days there is too many news channels trying to fill too many radio slots, podcasts,web pages,24hour tv etc etc!
I'm in amazement with the BBC right now about the "child thrown out of wedding story". Okay so a wedding someplace 2 weeks ago, a screaming child was asked to leave as he was disrupting a service. Why is this news?!
So far the BBC has had this as a call in item on Radio 2, has had on news.bbc.co.uk and has started a "have you say" chat thing on the web. It's ridiculous how much rubbish they have to persue to fill the space they've created (at our demand I suppose).
All these near misses and so forth are merely symptomatic of this, and I suppose it's going to get worse. Almost as bad as watching American TV with ad's every 2 minutes.
