Created News

The "Runaway bride" coverage is mind boggling. I'm truly amazed that the story still has play. The whole issue was a madeup event, given that about 100,000 people disappear each year without hardly any notice. The media decided to make this one a "story" and then Ms. Wilbanks cheated them by having the audacity of not being raped, murdered or otherwise harmed. When the non-story really turned into a non-story, the media turned on her. No Hacking story with a body in the dump or anything gory that would give them more hours of play, how dare she disappoint them.

Yet the story keeps on going. Wonder if there is any real news out there? Well, there is the Koran abuse dead horse to keep beating.
