    You say that, but infuriatingly I’m always amazed by how much above the fold top national news story reporting gets allocated to traffic deaths.

    “4 year old girl dies in crash on the M1”

    Okay, that’s terrible, but is it really a good use of the nation’s time to read about how lovely this child was and how tragic the crash was? Are there not maybe more informative and educational and useful news stories you could be pushing to the top of the news, rather than this?

    You’d think it was some backwater news broadcaster but no, this is from the likes of the BBC. Wild.
