it's not even on foxnews' yet. it happened like an hour ago right?

The news is always like this. They'd rather report uplifting news, than sad news, even though the reality is...there's an awful lot of shit that goes on. I think they become so used to bad news all of the time. So I guess I can see the point of posting some good stuff vs. always bad stuff on the cover. I feel the bad stuff is usually the most important stuff and it affects everyone, while the winner of the race doesn't.

Ya its there, under "Bahamas Immigration Minister Resigns Over His Relationship With Anna Nicole Smith" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,252676,00.html

They choose which bad stuff goes to the front page.

If a suicide bomber hit an Israeli bus, it would be front page of every American news broadcast.

Just to play a little devil's advocate (though I could give a rat's ass about a car race), Most news sites do not change the "Headline" picture on the front page on breaking news, as even in today's super fast news cycle, getting a "good" image to place there takes some time.

They can throw an AP newswire story up in text form, but image laden stories do take more time.

I don't get my "breaking" news from the major US news sites, as they tend to be overly ad/gimmick heavy, and I really don't care about Anna Nicole Smith or who won American Idol type stories. The American "news" media has turned as yellow as it was in the days of William Randolph Hearst. Something that makes Rupert Murdoch happy as a clam as Hearst is obviously his idol.
