1) The economic meltdown is becoming old hat, rather like Iraq.

2) "Pirates, ARRRR!" would normally be exciting, but it's a bloody oil tanker so not very interesting.

3) Baby P - that's the last news cycle. It's now officially boring until the inquiry reports.

4) Democratic Republic of Congo. Leaving aside the irony that anywhere that calls itself a democratic anything never actually is, this is a case of "people in a faraway country about which we know nothing". No-one gave a toss about Darfur, so why should they care about the Congo?

5) John Sargent. Thank goodness, something totally frivolous so we can stop thinking about all the horrible things going on in the world.

yeah breakfast news has a serious bias towards promoting their own programs especially after 8am where the whole program dums down for the stay at home mum audience

either the first two or the 4th one are acceptable as top news

the third one should be relegated to UK news and not at the top of the page either

the last one should be relgated to the entertainment section for those who give a rat's arse to go look up for themselves

I know for a fact, because I protested so loudly that Ian turned over.

And no I wasn't protesting that he was still on Strictly Come Dancing
