MSNBC just broke with "Breaking News":
"Britney on her way to court for custody hearing!"
This has gone too far. That is not breaking news. At least with the Paris/jail story (which also believe should have been only newsworthy to the entertainment networks/news shows - but fine, if you insist) you had a very public person going to jail, which I guess is somewhat dramatic.
Britney's custody hearing is NOT news. There are probably about 500 things happening around the nation and the world at the very same moment that are far more newsworthy. If the mainstream news networks insist on covering this stuff because they believe there is a market for it- fine. But at least have some baseline of newsworthiness. This is ridiculous. Its a freakin' custody hearing.
It's embarassing.
