Why is this one of the Top Stories?

Ok, I know making history throws off the media.  And with the nomination and acceptance of the first African-American presidential candidate, we have unmistakable history being made.

And I understand that the mainstream media can only report on news and information with the necessary corporate boss approved Transformers-type tie in but certainly talking about the craziness of a crowd is the wrong way to spin the change in the Democratic Party and a real historic moment.

Am I alone in being tired of the cheap and thoughtless manner in which the mainstream media does its job?  My eleven-year old son writes better copy.
