All the news...
The news business wants to put their product in front of as many eyes as possible, because then they can sell more advertising. The news profession has a different agenda.
To get news from professionals instead of from entertainers, you really have to dig:

Indeed though I did read about the Minn. 34th division deployment in the Tribune this morning. The drive down 52 was way cool! Having made the trip between the Cities and Bluff Country a million times. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Troutbirder!
I see stories turning up in US media a day after they appear in the foreign press with some frequency. If my scruples were fewer, I'd play the psychic .....
I enjoyed my visit to your blog!
