A couple of things

First:
Yesterday's fishwrap had a story of a blind kid running the half.  Neat.
Today has a check who donated a kidney 18 months ago.  Wow.
Plus, Dalton Pulsipher has been spotted in the section formerly known as "Houston" (but is now just a marketing gimmick).
The quickening drumbeat of running features reminds me of Tour de France coverage.  1 month of stories, 1 week of daily stories, then 11 months of a lot of nothing.
 
Second:
Dear Fox,
If you're the only news channel that has a story, it could be because it's an exclusive.  On the other hand, it could be because it's not news.  I understand you and the powers that be at Fox may give a crap about what minor fame hungry waiter is on stage screeching a bad rendition of a Mariah Carey song.  I understand you may be getting a kick out of pathetic, no talent losers wailing away that they deserve "r-e-s-p-e-c-t" but couldn't sing their way out of a paper bag.  I understand that ya'll may think that it's more important than such minor news stories such as... oh, I don't know... Iran restarting their nuclear program, but that doesn't make it news.
There are these things called commercials.  Companies pay money for them.  Maybe ya'll should look into that concept.
Sincerely,
Everyone
