Title: eSkeptic vs the Non-News News
Mood: disgusted
Music: Deal with the Dark Lord-London Symphony Orchestra
has a great short piece on how journalism is failing its job by reporting non-news as news.

It is good information and should be required reading for anyone who tries to ingest the swill they call "news".

For a longer and equally interesting read on the subject, I recommend It's Not News, It's Fark: How Mass Media Tries to Pass Off Crap As News by Drew Curtis of .
