Rodent Regatta

Via TopStyle Blog (and others) we get a link to a super article about how personalized news is allowing each of us to decide what is important. The local 10 p.m. news on television last night was completely and totally worthless.

At least a third of the broadcast I watched dealt/dwelt with a story about a 14-year-old girl whose baby was shot while she trick-or-treated. The baby is in critical condition. Half of the people interviewed could not be understood by anyone who speaks English as their native tongue.

It’s not that I want to be oblivious to certain stories. I simply want a say in what gets the most attention in my news coverage. RSS feeds and tools give me that capability.
