In the US, I find it interesting that the major headlines of the day, no matter how insignificant are picked up by all the major news players. The same "stories" are repeated on all every mainstream news outlet. I remember the day that all the new stories had to report how the man was arrested for "eating and driving" as a DUI. Certainly a worthy new story is such a bland world devoid of any actual events that might affect ones life. But that DUI story was parroted on several news sites. Who picks those stories I wonder?

Probably from AP or another agency.
