this is why i think yahoo is a piece of crap. i suppose the disaster in Burma and the civil wars that are happening are not as important as idol. god forbid they put something decent up on their top stories for a change

- But we have idos give back. which is great. But that's how Americans(i am one)get there news! We never ask questions, we just listen to Hollywood! (But Bono total respect for you!)

I think all of us are to blame.

Yahoo comes up with such news line-up because they feel that it's the kind of story that would attract more hits.

Why do they feel that way? It's because of the audience. People would rather talk about American Idol or what Britney Spears is doing or not doing. I have yet to hear the Darfur conflict being a topic of conversation, or the independence of Kosovo.

- Are we that shallow as people that we ignore what is really going on. Do we just want to look away? if i could i would give you +500. I am sick of having Hollywood in my damn face everyday! Hey Hollywood if you want to help out we are sick of your damn award shows, i dont care if you have the crib of the year, or if you just bought your dog a collar more then my house is worth.! I can get more entertainment from the AB then you could ever imagine!

I would rather read that, then something horrible. 56,000 people voted, I think it is pretty popular.

- Popular is sadly not the same as right.. Indeed it isn't pleasant to hear about all the wars and disasters, but isn't it at the same time ignorant to just cover your ears and wait for it to go away?

- I am not covering my ears, I am just glad to hear news, that isnt about the war and politics. A bit burnt out right now.

it is one of the top stories because they take an article from different areas to entice people to read.
Comments
- i understand your point, but why wouldn't people care that more then 12,000 people lost their lives in China...oh i forgot we are Americans(I am also)! We only care about the "Idol Shocker"! I could f in care less:)
