This was the best Headline from a British media outlet: Royal Baby.
I don't get the infatuation, I don't even get the royals. How they haven't been outed yet is beyond me.
I saw a good tweet from a well-know UK comedian regarding the birth, it was something like:
"One dole sponger gives birth to another dole sponger"
However, I think it's the way media has gone, they have to use stories for a long as possible and get as much out of them as possible, regardless of whether it's actually newsworthy or not.
For example, the BBC journalist, Simon McCoy who said in a live broadcast from outside the hospital "oh, plenty to come from here; none of it news:

And let's have a look at how media reported the birth of this royal sprog's auld fella: King in waiting, King Bill.
It made the front pages, but they did realise back then that world events were far more important. Unfortunately we're living in an age where the media has been totally dumbed down. Is it because people are dumber? Of course not, media needs to appeal to the most common denominator in the chase for money. They care not about spreading information anymore, they need to fill column inches and sell advertising space. Anyone who believes that the mainstream media is interesting in real news is either deluded, an idiot, or a mainstream journalist, or all three.
