who cares about prince william's girl friend? CNN does.

Another news story was about prince William and his girlfriend Kate. I think this again is not at ALL a newsworthy story, since it was about them walking out of a nightclub. There was absolutely no substance, no good visual images, no news, and it wasn’t really even timely. I think again this is a huge lapse in judgment of the professionals working at cnn who decided to post this as a top news story, instead of something more important like crime, politics, health care or the environment. It is frustrating to see CNN endorse this kind of yellow-journalism.

Like SEsno says: the celebrification of news. It's always been here, but it has gotten much worse. Good point.
