Listening to the news on the way to work this morning, 2 announcements made me wonder how the warrant news headlines.

Apparently it turns the white marble yellow. Ok it's a valid concern but does it really warrant a news headline?

"

It appeals to the huggy fluffy brigade

80 percent is carp now that they try to pass off as news.

ABC News 24 should be re-named ABC News 1/2.That's all the news they have and it's repeated 48 times.Al Jazeera etc beat it hands down,particularly if you're interested in world news.

Not front page online newsworthy.

Anything with the name Kardashian just annoys me. This family is full of oxygen thieves and not worthy of any news time, but yet them seem to be in the news everyday.
