    What the hell are news organisations thinking of when they choose their headline stories? Is stupidity a requirement for becoming an editor?

    Since when is a rumour about a wedding rehearsal a bigger news story than child murders & the hacking of millions of users credit card details?

    What's next?..."Prime Minister switches to low fat milk for his morning tea"?
