Entertainment isn't the reason I read the news. It's the reason I find myself staring at tabloid covers in the line at Krogers. But you're right, that is pretty damn sad.

There is nothing of real substance until #6?

Even #6 doesn't really have substance. Read the headline again: "6. Cockrel taps well-known attorney as deputy mayor". Wait, who had sex with who? I don't think people care about the content of the article, they're just reading the poorly worded headline to get a chuckle.
