Man has 39 Wives and nearly 100 children/ Soft news

Yesterday in class we were discussing the media's obligation to bring real news to the public's attention. The professor said that this standard has been declining and that now soft news takes up way too much of the coverage. Other students responded that the media wasn't doing this because they wanted to, but because the public wants it. Its not that the media's standard for soft news has fallen, it just reflects the demographic realities of our generation. Well, either way, with revolt in Libya and an earthquake in New Zealand, guess what made top news in Yahoo? :http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110222/od_nm/us_india_family   Still, thats pretty impressive to deal with 39 wives and have 100 children.
