Seriously, does anyone care?

Speaking of 'don't care,' why isn't there anything on thecable news channels about the attack on the U.S. embassy in Greece?

 

I think the loser should always receive a brimming mug of STFU.

 

That bet is seriously lopsided. Chicago food vs. Seattle food? No contest.

 

There was a story down here today involving Sen. Mitch McConnell who won an Orange Bowl bet with a NC Senator. As a result, he was treated to a Carolina pork BBQ lunch.

Is it news? Not really, even on a local level, but it can be a filler note if you're in need of one.

 

*Yawn*

 

These stories are best suited for GAMEDAY, pull-out tab sections which so many papers run during the late part of the week.
AP often gets these from a local paper who submitted it, then re-writes the lede and puts it out as "AP" copy.
No, they are not interesting stories.

As for the question of "why no coverage of Greek bombing" - I found this on the wire from up-and-coming Yahoo News:

Oh, you'd be all over this if the Cowboys were involved.

Having said that, aren't these 'bets' a bit more newsworthy during the Super Bowl? Who cares about a bet between divisional playoff cities?
