As noted in the previous post (June 23) we had a day busy with many alerts, on a wide range of topics, but no story that was covered by more than three sources.
No sooner was that noted when the news broke of Ed McMahon's death, a story that generated alerts from nearly all our sources (only BBC did not cover it as an alert).
That kind of coverage certainly supports the arguement we see a lot on our pages, that entertainment related news is what drives ratings, and therfore qualifies as real news more and more often, and now more than ever seems to even qualify as breaking news. |

One way to buy cheap jerseys is shopping online, NFL jerseys at nfljerseys-shopping.com are sold at a discount, most of football jerseys are having promotion. Why not action now?

It proved an commercial and style success as its influence spread to the area of modern cultural arena, Empire Wedding Dresseswith British "Mods" wearing it as a trademark item as they faced up to theirEvening Dresses "Rocker" rivals.The brand is nowLouis Vuitton Outlet owned by a Japanese corporation, and enjoyed a revival when sported by British ace Andy Murray, although he Louis Vuitton Handbagssubsequently signed with Adidas for 2010.Perhaps Perry was copying Lacoste,Louis Vuitton Bags who forged his reputation in the 1920s with a flamboyant playing style which brought him seven grand slam singles titles.

speaking of consistency - why aren't these blogs more consistent. it's the only way to interact (beyond voting) with the site and I have a lot to say on this interesting topic.

Iran does not generate alerts but Ed does. Sad state of our news coverage.

The man was well into his 80's , was last a star in the 70's and seems to have led a good life and died in a normal way. News - maybe - breaking news - hardly!
