I understand what you mean and to be honest I never liked the way she used to yell rather than sing but she was a major singing star for many years and garnered respect(or should that be R.E.S.P.E.C.T) from people around the world and a was a huge figure in the world of music so it is no surprise that it lead the bulletin.

Collapsing bridge killing dozens in Italy, Obersturmbahnfuhrer Corbyn and The Final Solution, some crazy Islamic blackamoor trying to kill people with a car in London , Brexit developments etc etc - all much more important than the fact that a pop singer, who did all her best stuff fifty years ago, has gone to meet her Maker.

In America news about a celebrity's birthday or death takes precedent over any other news except a national disaster or an assassination!. That's the way it has always been in my long lifetime!

The Italian bridge happened a few days ago, is the BBC that slow? As for the other stuff, for the average right wing fanatic that will be the top news sure (even worded like you did). For the average person not that much. I have no affinity for Aretha Franklin (i have no soul), but i didn't read anything that would take a logical first spot from her demise in the mainstream news. And as someone else here mentioned, obituaries first is a form of respect for the dead. |

I remember how much heartburning and recriminations there were before the 2012 London Olympics when the elevated section of the M4 had to be closed. Routine inspection had discovered cracks in the concrete (maybe victims of the Richardson family were turning in their "graves"). Despite the unpopularity of having the motorway closed, the Highways Agency did it anyway and made extensive repairs. They would have been much more unpopular if they had downplayed the problem and the structure had fallen down; someone senior in the Highways Agency decided the risk was too serious and took care of business. Maybe it wasn't the mafia after all.
