- @Forian I don't. You'd be surprised the kind of stuff people try to post. A lot of it is profanity, but some of it is crazy. 2010/03/15
- Considering how many journalists were at or in this parade, you'd think we'd have more than "sketchy" and "unconfirmed" reports by now. 2010/03/14

Bhutto assassination: Why is it big news?
Major newspapers around the world and in Montreal gave huge play to the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Which of these reasons best describes the near-unanimous decision to put this on front pages?
- The news media is starting to seriously pay attention to international news, giving it the importance it deserves.
- The news media hasn't changed. The assassination of a top political figure is an unusual and important story.
- The news media is desperate for a real news story in the otherwise dead year-in-review banked-feature time around Christmas and New Years.
- She's hot.
