UPI, like AP, is a news gathering resource.
Today I looked up an article on space exploration, put out by UPI. On the right hand side of the article was a columbn marked "most popular."
One of the items?
"Susan Boyle gets a frog in her throat on the View."
Why is this news worthy? A singer gets a frog in her throat, for God's sake! This is bad as "Yahoo news", where we're treated to the news that two skeletal actresses wore the same dress to the Emmys, or that actress had a wardrobe malfunction somewhere else.
This is the petty, invasive gossip that the public at large does not need to know. And should not know.
And UPI shouldn't lower itself to provide it.
