Is this really necessary?

Pope to make window appearance Sunday

That's the actual title of the article. Now, is that REALLY news? Does anyone REALLY need to know that? He is a church leader. I know he is important to Catholics around the world but this inflated coverage is out of all proportion to his importance imo. Why not write a story to let me know when his catheter is pulled out for god's sake. How about an update on when he last took his medication and was it by mouth or by injection. Did he blow his nose today? What's his temperature? Does he like cats?

OMG the pope looked out the window!!!!! Lets write a story about it.
OMG the pope DIDN'T look out the window!!!!! Let's write a story about it.
OMG the street vendors in St Peter's square are losing business while the pope is in the hospital!!!! Let's write a story about it. *actual article ...I saw it*

Sorry folks he isn't that important. They are just making you think he is.

[UPDATE SUN MAR 6] Pope makes silent appearance at hospital window

Ohhhhh whats different about THIS story .... well, it appears the appearance was SILENT! Oh my gosh what a story, I wonder who got the scoop. I continue to be unimpressed with the MSM.
