Sadly, people do care even when they have nothing. Sports is one of the things people can be fanatical about.
A friend of mine lives in the Bay Area in California. When the whole Barry Bonds mess started, the SF Chronicle ignored every story and used large fonts to declare that they discovered Barry Bonds may be using steroids. While there was no disaster befalling that day, other than the usual things in Iraq and D.C., it was still ridiculous.
My fiancee goes to State and was at the Meridian Mall in Okemos when she called and left a message telling me a tornado had touched down and they were being told not to leave the mall. That thing touched down within 2 miles of where she was if Google Earth is to be believed.
I think th emost noxious coverage I've seen lately has not been by a news organization but by a gossip blogger. Perez Hilton is stating Fidel Castro is dead, and I keep seeing more and more people falling for it. Local Radio, various internet sites. He won't retract his story no matter how often the major media ignores it.
