Journalism is a venerable institution with a shrewd eye towards breaking news stories and trends. Cutting-edge coverage like pumpkin shortages and sad Santa stories. Who knows why, with such breakthrough coverage, this towering industry tipped over so easily, shaking out a class of journalists who now wriggle around for SEO traction. Or maybe they've just reached their limit of Miley Cyrus' unlikely chokehold on headlines. Also unknown is how the minutiae of this popsicle's life continues meriting front-page attention. Like pretending to be a Big Apple princess or hatin' on Twilight or fake-dying last week. On that last disturbing note, it seems that many mass media outlets really want to marry Miley Cyrus off to the Grim Reaper. Especially with their awkward coverage of a tour bus of Cyrus' entourage that tragically overturned, killing a single person. Who was not decidedly not Cyrus. Awkward headlines and keyword positioning after the break.
