This just in: Anna Nicole Smith is still dead

ThinkProgress puts it all in perspective:
The death of Anna Nicole Smith yesterday was a feeding frenzy for the national media, and coverage of the war was drowned out: NBC’s Nightly News devoted 14 seconds to Iraq compared to 3 minutes and 13 seconds to Anna Nicole. CNN referenced Anna Nicole 522% more frequently than it did Iraq. MSNBC was even worse — 708% more references to Anna Nicole than Iraq.Then PLEASE go to ThinkProgress and watch the video compilation of the coverage, it's hysterical.
