Horse Stuck in Tree
This video was on the *main page* of CNN.com's headlines.

And here is CNN's description of the video:
"It's a photo that's been in newspapers, blogs, cable news, magazines, and even in prime time! Now meet the man who took it AND the horse herself!"

Ok, CNN, I'm through with you and and your games. You've subjected me to so much meaningless information in the past and I just took it mutely, consoling myself that things would be better in tomorrow's headlines. But I've been strung along for too long. Thanks to you I know the name of Paris Hilton's Chihuahua and the number of hot dogs that can be consumed by a small Asian woman in a single sitting. And all of this news-drivel is likely replacing my little remaining knowledge of that former Biochemistry major (Gluconeo-what?). That's it, CNN, You've now been permanently replaced with Al Jazeera English and Le Monde.fr.

Sweet! :) The BBC isn't going to tell me when Prince Henry has a pimple though, right? Even so, it's better than Paris Hilton.

no not much tabloid-y stuff, not even for the royals. And if it is there it tends to not be a lead headline unless you're in the entertainment section.

Sometimes though the news IS British centric, like "Massive Row in House of Commons", or "Gordon Brown an insult to Norway?" but it's really not so often, and it's easy enough to skip that stuff.

There are far fewer video-stories than on CNN though, it's mostly all print and pics. I actually far, far prefer that, but to each their own.
