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

 

India Bans Burning Cow Dung Near Taj Mahal

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-13/india-bans-burning-cow-dung-near-yellowing-taj-mahal/6015504

 

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

 

Dead Dolphin Found on Newcastle Beach 

 

Thought to have been killed by shark.

Ok I know they have a cpl of Great Whites stalking the area, but...a news headline? Really?

It appeals to the huggy fluffy brigade Smiley LOL

 

 

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

We all know what a sh*thead Sandilands is, so is that sort of headline really warranted?

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.

Pope upsets German rabbit breeders

 

THE Pope's comment that Catholics don't have to breed "like rabbits" has caused offence - among Germany's rabbit breeders.

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.
