Why is this news!? #1

Looking at news sites today is comparable to looking at the tabloids in the grocery store. There are so many articles about who wore what and who showed what body part, that it is hard to find some news about world events. The media recently has seemed to really work at getting click bait articles out that lack substance or worthy news. This is the beginning of a series that I hope people find enjoyable. I will post some of the most outrageous and bizarre headlines that I find with some commentary from me.

In the News

1. Fox News

   1. "Raccoon gets head stuck in peanut butter jar"
   • This was probably the most perplexing for me today. I feel like most people know that animals can get caught in human waste. Take Finding Dory as an example. Dory gets caught in the plastic rings that hold soda cans, this is something we are teaching children. My son is 2 and learning that. I don't understand why this is breaking news found on the front page of the Fox news site today.

2. Google

   1. "Possible tornado tears through East Shore
   • How do they not know if it was a tornado? Was it aliens or a weapons test and they are just playing it off as a tornado. I think it would work better if we just said it was a tornado, but since there was doubt about what it actually was, it was probably good that they let us know.

3. ABC

   1. "California man's workout partners are parrots
   • Would it make the news if I worked out with my imaginary friend? I am not sure how parrots could be workout partners either, but apparently this works for this guy. Point is he is working out. That is a huge accomplishment. Who cares who his workout partners are?

4. NYPost

   1. "Man busted for peeing on family at Metallica concert"
   • Why would you do this in the first place and second of all, why is it news. There are some children that pee on their parents and their babysitters where ever they are being changed. It could be at Walmart, in the car, at a park, or anywhere. Please just don't pee on people or in public
