Manson Denied Parole: This is News???

Earlier this afternoon I logged on to MSNBC.com to see what was going on in the world.  I do this from time to time throughout the day so as to help mask the fact that I get most of my news from reruns of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

At the top of the screen was a red banner headline announcing that everyone's favorite Beatles fan, forehead artist and well-groomed homicidal maniac Charles Manson had just been denied parole for the twelfth time in a row. 

This is news??? Wouldn't the real story have been if Manson had been granted parole?  The fact that Charlie is still rotting in a prison cell is no more a legitimate news headline than "Amelia Earhart Still Missing" or "Substandard Dental Hygiene: Britain's Secret Shame."

Don't stop believing, Charlie...maybe the 13th time will be the charm
