Breaking News! No Developments!

There was an article on the BBC News website today [that has since disappeared from the front page] about the most recent developments in the United Nations Security Council's discussions concerning Iran. It seems that France and the United Kingdom have written a third draft of a statement which the Security Council will meet to consider and potentially adopt Wednesday afternoon.

I draw attention to this article because, in essence, nothing has happened - and yet the BBC thought it neccessary to update its readers on the progress of these talks. Those silly Brits, offering the public information about an ongoing story despite the fact that nothing dramatic has occurred. The stateside media knows better. After all, Americans don't care unless there's a crazed quote from Sharon Stone.
