'Bono has emergency spinal surgery, putting U2's upcoming concert dates, including Glastonbury, in jeopardy.'This is important news? More important than the economy in free-fall, the Labour leadership wrangles, etc.? I think not.
However the BBC are obsessed by Bono, he's a living saint and of course Glastonbury is one of the great BBC staff outings.
UPDATE:
Beeb Bias Craig has posted a helpful comment looking at Sky News and ITN's news front pages that I repost here:
'Sky News has 'Mum admits killing her children in Spain, 'Royal Marine dies in Afghanistan blast', 'BA reveals record annual loss of £531m' and 'Outlaws gang leader jailed over drugs.' Bono doesn't feature anywhere on their homepage, despite their having dozens of stories there.
ITN has 'Massacre in Pakistan', 'BA's fighting talk', 'Cameron's veto hint', 'MI5 at terror inquest' and 'Statins doing damage'. Again, Bono isn't even mentioned.
As you say, what is it about the BBC and Bono? To be placed third (after 'Confessions over Spain killings' and 'No more powers to EU, says Cameron') is just unreal.'

I am puzzled because I had to go to Northern Ireland news to find any mention of Bono. The UK news page doesn't show anything. Have they changed it?
