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 so as to hide the fact that I actually get most of my news from The Daily Show.

A red banner strewn across the top of the screen announced 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 legitimate a news headline than "Amelia Earhart Still Missing" or "Substandard Dental Hygiene: Britain's Secret Shame."

Maybe the 13th time will be the charm
