Yahoo has a neat feature called Yahoo Alerts. You can select from a series of alert types (news, stocks, weather, sports, etc.) and receive those alerts via email, IM or SMS.
I loved the idea of getting SMS messages for hot news stories, so I signed up for their Breaking News SMS feed. Within that alert type, I chose to receive Associated Press Bulletins, which has "Fewer alerts. Focus on the biggest news stories."
A couple of weeks later, I get my first news message from Yahoo. The breaking news? Kobe Bryant wants to be traded from the Lakers. Wants to be.
I weep for the future.

Remember...news hasn't been about news since the '90s. News is what generates revenue.
"All the news that's profitable to print"
