A fisherman has caught a huge shark's head off .... Australia, leading to fears an even bigger creature attacked it.
The severed head weighed a huge 100kg, meaning the shark it came from could have been up to 12ft long.
It appears the Mako shark's head was bitten off and discarded by a predator - potentially an even bigger shark.

It's the world we live in. Being ordinary, even if true, simply does not get good ratings.
Can you imagine a dozen news channels of talking heads discussing something common, ordinary and true? It would be more boring . . . uh . . . more boring . . . . than cspan.
People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.

OhMyGosh, you used "cspan" in a sentence here. I almost died because of a combination of fainting and vomiting. Wasn't my time I guess. Let's not use the very strong profanity here. Someone else could get hurt.
Can I imagine a dozen news channels of talking heads...? You'd have to somehow cut way down on the existing thousands first. That's a goal I can support.
The fix for the ratings is a simple 1/(existing ratings). Maybe factor in a PR-expected exaggeration, say 37/(existing ratings) :)
