The bulletin just went out that Rosa Parks died:
-CNBC is featuring an interview with rock star Tommy Lee.
-Fox News Channel is covering another bombing by the insurgents in Iraq.
-MSNBC has yet another chapter in the interminable story of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
-CNN is featuring a story on the special prosecutor who is investigating the CIA leak.
While I cannot argue the news value of the CIA leak investigation or the situation in Iraq, the passing of a pivotal figure in American history deserves much more than this.

Yeah, Mr. T, can't you see how an interview with a washed up person that slept with Pam Anderson is SOOOOOOO much more newsworthy than the death of someone who dedicated their life to an actual cause of worth?! Sheesh.
($10 says when Coretta Scott King dies, they'll probably run an interview with Paris Hilton...)
You might try NPR. I know they've made note of Mrs. Parks' passing all day. They told facts about her life that I didn't know. Very interesting, worth listening to.
Mrs. Parks changed our nation. That one small private individual, without fame or power to help her make herself heard, could have such a profound effect on our society is well worth noting and mourning when she passes on.
