Now i Know that cancer is a very serious issue and have had first hand experience of what this vile disease can do, but Kylie minogue having been diagnosed with it should not be the lead news story.Every news channel i went to, their lead story was regarding Kylie.Is it getting the way of america where celebrity is getting more important than actual real news.Or are the standards of Journalism slipping/falling.It would seem that scally culture or chav culture as some people are saying is being taken on board by entertainment companies looking to maximise profits.
(get well soon kylie)

Kylie is a big celebrity, of course the news are going to report on it.

Kylie is one of them few celebs where everyone knows who your talking about when you just say her first name.

Wasn't mentioned on Newsnight, until Paxo was doing today's newspapers and she was splashed across most of the front pages.

BBC News 24 was leading with The Queen's Speech and Galloway when I was watching at 18:30 last night.

I think it headlined much of the news because it brings home just how prevalent this disease has become and that people of any age can get it.

Ofcourse it hasn't become 'more prevalent', we're just detecting it much earlier now, thanks to better imaging and screening techniques.

Increased detection capabilities and the much increased life-span are the reasons we're seeing rises in the numbers of cancers, not because you are more likely to get cancer.

i only saw it on news 24, and it was a headlin, but about 3rd or 4th story.

at the end of the day, celebrity or not, the increase in awareness that it will bring is this cloud's silver lining.

My point was that they all lead with the story i agree that she is big news but it should have say been the third slot on the news not the lead.
Has nothing happened in parliament or overseas

Which channels were you watching and at what time?

I couldn't beleive how much time GMTV spent on the "breaking news". Does anyone not expect her to make a full recovery? Let her get on with getting better, I didnt think it was a big deal, more of a personal thing for her.

Sky News had it as lead in morning im sure.

In the morning the main news of the day (Queens Speech at 11:30 and Galloway (3:00pmish) had yet to happen so it's understandable for the news channels to lead on the Kylie story.

Last night BBC news at least led on the speech and Galloway so I don't see how "all news programmes last night" led on this.
