I fell asleep with the radio on last night. I heard BBC Radio 4's final midnight bulletin, and the World Service 1 a.m. news.
What was the lead story? Iran? Afghanistan? Haiti (which hasn't once been on the front page of the Daily Mail)?
Er…no. It was Micheal Jackson's doctor's pre-trial hearing. As the first item on British and global news. This is insane. What's happened to news values?

Have you not been watching Charlie Brooker recently? Live on Five is the pinnacle of such news coverage.
'Values' Vole, honestly, as if anyone would be worried about those. You're SO old fashioned!
