News coverage isn't an established notability criteria. Anna Nicole Smith's death is not "more notable" than september 11th. It was given greater coverage than Sep 11th by CNN as well as other networks. See how airtime logic fails?

{{fact}}? As I recall, for several days after Sept. 11, pretty much every channel was providing 24-hour coverage related to it, pre- empting just about everything else. Was this done for Smith? -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/

There is also a matter of newsworthy consequential events. To the best of my knowledge no countries have yet been invaded as a direct consequence of Miss Smith's death.

<sarcasm type=political>C'mon, if Bush had blamed Miss Smith's death for invading Iraq instead of 9/11, it would have been just as true... Or were you talking about Afghanistan?
