I had totally forgotten the shark attack stories! You are right Nicole, that was a case of the dramatically overblown, although the stories of the attacks themselves were very sad.

I disagree with the Condit story being an overdone story. An intern having an affair with a Congressman disappearing without a trace is very newsworthy IMO.

I'm surprised no one else agrees with the "hunt for Bin Laden" madness, though. Can someone please point out the newsworthiness of not knowing where Bin Laden is, day after day after day after day...
