NOT... the news

caz963You know, it occurred to me this morning as I arrived at school, that I'd spent about half an hour - 7-7.30 ish) listening to a news programme (Today on Radio 4) in which the 'news' was about things that hadn't happened.
Huh? Does that actually count as 'news'?
Brown NOT calling the election.
Louis Hamilton NOT winning the Formula 1 championship.
Alan Yentob NOT having mis-leadingly edited interviews. (And seriously, wtf?)
I wasn't naive enough to think that, having made his decision about the election, the news media would let it go, but really, I'm sick to the back teeth of it. I'm not Gordon Brown's biggest fan, but the poor sod was buggered if he did, buggered if he didn't. So whereas for the past couple of weeks, we've been up to our necks in "is he going to call an early election and when?", now, it's going to be weeks of "nyaaaa nyaaaa, Brown's a cissy". And that would be truly disturbing coming from John Humprhreys, let me tell you.
Is there anything actually going on in the world besides rugby, cricket and the (yawn!) Diana inquest (something else about which I couldn't give a toss)?
