Can We Please Define "News"?
MSNBC - All apologies, or not, online: "Zetlen's Web site gathers the expressions, foreign and domestic, of those who opposed the re-election of President Bush, people offering apologies for his victory."
Why is this, of all things, considered news? It is 12/5/04, over a month since the election, and in a strange, vain attempt at mud-slinging, this story is being revived. It was news the week after the election when we all had a number of these emails in our inboxes, but no longer. Is it expected to be such a slow news day as to deserve such ridiculously old news?
