News.com's High Impact Fluff Story

I made the above graphic after seeing the top story at Cnet's News.com was "Fur flies over first pooch". So let me get this straight, this was the most important technology story that they could come up with? What the hell! I mean, forget just for a moment that there are U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians dying everyday and that millions face death in the Darfur region of Sudan. Let's just look at more important technology stories. How about the fact that an independent study of Florida's e-voting machines show that they likely favored President Bush with couple hundred thousand extra votes? How about the story that the Congress is likely to pass a bill continuing the moratorium on Internet taxes? What about Microsoft's Steve Ballmer warning Asian governments that they better not use Linux or they'll get sued?

How is a story about the fight to webcast the president's stupid dog's stupid Christmas video more important? It's a f*cking dog in f*cking Christmas video, for Christs sake! How the hell is this "High Impact"?

I am not linking to the story and I'm not linking to News.com. They can suck me!
