News of the World

 

I’m a news-a-holic. I check the local and national news 2-3-4-5-maybe more times a day. Sometimes I see or read about things on Facebook hours before the “news” is broadcast.
I don’t read or listen to many opinion pieces but note what the headlines say. Actually I scan headlines for most of my daily information. A few journalist reports I will delve into but if well written, I get the gist from the headline.
So this week, I’m going to list all the stories that make the news.
Monday:
·      Now that Bachmann is gone can the GOP gets more women?
·      Wiki spy goes to trial.
·      “Game of Thrones” has shocking episode but I don’t watch it.

·      Tornadoes hit Oklahoma, again, and again.

Friday ends the week with…

It happens every week. Lots of stuff is reported. Some have journalistic value and in depth reporting and others are just fluff we like to read.
So next week there will be another list and after that another, but they will all soon be forgotten. 

Oh! I forgot the big news of the week was Superman lost his underpants!
