News that Sell

A few nights ago we watched the news on one of the local news channels.
The main bulletin consisted of further news on the Egyptian ferry that sank and the hundreds that drowned, a known criminal that was caught in a Southern Maimi suburb, football, Britney Spears had some trouble with her sportscar and had to be pushed for nearly a block by local Beverly hills teenagers and commentary on Bush's State of the Union address.

Further airtime was dedicated to the Iraq war, new Florida legislature, the passing away of a local celebrity, a forecast on the property market in Southern Florida for 2006 and governor Jeb Bush's anouncement on new Education incentives for teachers....

Spot the news item that clearly doesn't fit, but (sadly) propably sells the best!
