I’m sick and tired of every news outlet, magazine, etc. regurgitating the year’s (or the decade’s) top stories at the end of the year. It’s lazy reporting, as far as I’m concerned. :mad: It’s called “NEWS,” not "OLDS,’ for a reason!

I nominate this thread as “Best Pit Thread of 2011”!

This should be in the top 10 list of obvious replies to pit threads of 2011.

I agree with the OP. “Best of 2010” reports are _so_ last year.
