The "news" in this country is broken.
I guess we all know that, and have known it for a long time -- but more and more things which are considered newsworthy by one organization or another are making me bang my head against the wall with their banality. Last week it was the startling revelation that
overfishing led to dwindling fish populations.
Today, it's that
girls who are date raped get tested for STDs more frequently, and more frequently contract them.
It isn't just me, is it? And, if not, what's
your stupidest "news" story of the week? Not a "News of the Weird" type thing -- something that someone considers important and possibly startling.
