What is with the TV news at the moment? (UK)?

Am I the only one who thinks it is utterly ridiculous that the progress in the Olympics is the main and first story in the news, and consequently is taking priority over stories such as the murder/war in Georgia, the horrific plane crash in Madrid today, and where in the world Gary Glitter is all comes second to this. I just think the things that really matter somehow seem to be swept to one side because the British Olympic teams have won a few competitions.

Am I the only one who feels the priorities are a little wrong here?.

No sports fanatics giving me abuse for asking this please – i’ll just report you!.

I never watch the news on TV ,I prefer to read my news on line that way I can pick and choose the stories I am interested in rather than having to endure wild speculation about this or that.
