See, this is a problem I have with twenty-four hour rolling news, with the BBC rolling news in particular. It would seem that today there is nothing happening in the world at all except for the deliberation over whether Britain, or one of a number of other countries, gets to hold the 2012 Olympics. The BBC News are too keen on trying where they can to find one particular story and then obsess about it over the day. When it's a story where events are changing, like a war, then fair enough, but when it'a story where nothing now will change until an announcement in some four or five hours time, it gives the impression that the fabled BBC news team doesn't actually have enough money to find other news.
