NEW RULE

Whining is not news.

The Fair Housing Advocates Association and an Akron mother are suing a condo complex. Why? A one year old cannot swim. For health and safety, the pool bans sub three year olds. Both Fox News and WKYC featured stories. Seriously? One mother’s stupid complaint is not news. Barack Obama’s Pakistan comments, the Minnesota Bridge collapse, and the Iraq War… these are news. Henceforth, News Directors, ask yourself two questions. Does this affect the public? Will the public label this stupid? If the first answer is no or the second yes, the occurrence is not news.
