Anna Nicole Smith's death does not have an article now does it even though
it had more coverage than... say the Essjay Controvercy?
The Daily Show is as reliable as fake news gets.

Where? Not that a record for the longest non-stop coverage w/o a
commercial break implies overall greater coverage, but I would be
interested in seeing a cite for that fact.
The daily show mocked this too.
The daily show is not a reliable source for such information.
What I really mean is sometimes the media gives
undue weight to
something
insignificant.
Anna Nicole Smith's death was actually quite significant (at least
potentially), due to the large inheritance she might be getting, which
is exactly why so many people were fighting about it, and led directly
to a lot of the news coverage. It wasn't as significant as 9/11, but
it was significant.
