Ninemsn: Spot the News

Its 7:00 pm on the 4th of May 2010. Some pretty amazing things have happened today. Not to me, but just around the world - you know the kind of stuff that usually qualifies as news, often even grabbing headlines on some sites. And then there's Ninemsn.

The headline on Ninemsn right now? Some twit's tweets about another twit. Exciting stuff.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

  1. There were earthquakes in Chile & Haiti, again.
  2. Stephen Conroy ups the ante on being ridiculous.
  3. Pakistan gets famous not once, but twice in one day!
  4. Reserve Bank of Australia announces another interest rate rise.
  5. The French rush to rescue the Greek.
I'm not saying this news doesn't feature on Ninemsn at all. It's hidden somewhere in the back, behind the more important things like you know, The Simpsons do Kesha or important "hot topics" like a mass murderer's gold coffin. If not there's always a pre-pubescent "sensation" and his penchant for talentless fame hungry i-have-no-career-so-i-put-my-life-on-tv "celebrities" to report on.

Oh wait, ignore that. I had Ninemsn confused for a news website. My bad.
