On the BBC News front page 24 hours ago you were still in no doubt that Iran was a matter of tremendous global import, and, indeed, the world’s first Twitter revolution. Today … well see for yourself below. I guess, a 140 character tweet limit is about appropriate for a 140 second attention span. News? Well, that’s entertainment.
You know it’s bad, it’s bad – you know it
(bad, bad –really, really bad)
Oh, did somebody say something like that already?

I looked at the page (from a US IP address) just now (updated 22:56 GMT — 50 minutes after your snapshot.).
True, MJ is still the number one story, but Iran holds the number two news position:
Obama praise for Iran’s Mousavi: Iran’s opposition candidate captured the imagination of groups who want to open up to the world, the US president says.
However, there is still no mention of Ali Akbar Khan, who also died yesterday, on the front page.
Oops, Khan died Thursday — LAST WEEK.
careful doug, some will accuse you of lacking compassion.
