I've just read a really odd piece on the Yahoo news feed about last night's Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. It is essentially a commentary on one question that the contestant struggled with, but who eventually got right and went on to win £64,000. And that's it, not back story, or any interesting aspect top it apart from telling us what happened. I've just checked, and it was feed from the Liverpool Echo, so I assumed it had a local flavour where the guy was from the Wirrel or similar, but no, no local connection whatsoever. So there we have it, a news item about a television quiz that was merely a statement of fact. And they say journalism is dead.
