On the 11o’clock news last night, it was pretty interesting to see how far King TV’s prioritization of news deviated from my own. They decided to go with:

1. NEAR MISS — a Washington State Ferry (MV Wenatchee to be exact) nearly hits a cargo ship, but doesn’t!
   
2. Car crash — truck hits car; driver in the hospital (Seriously — doesn’t this happen once a day?)
   
3. Toddler death — baby swallows two magnets; shuts down intestines
   

Now, I would have totally reported the toddler death first, because at least someone died and this could happen to you. But to be superseded by a near miss (1500 feet) and your everyday car crash?

DON’T EAT MAGNETS, PEOPLE.
