What do you end up with when you over cover a story?

Crappy news story ideas, crappy filler, and even crappier titles, just to try and seem interesting or unique in the glut.



“Queen Kong vs. Barack-zilla"


Crooks and Liars:

...

This is proof that the primary season is making everyone a little punchy. CNN has been reduced to likening Hillary Clinton to King Kong against Barack Obama’s Mecha-Godzilla in an “epic” duel of cinematic monster proportions.

I understand the need to find ways to cover the primary race–one that has basically the same narrative for the last year: two candidates running basically neck and neck down to the wire–differently. But this is ridiculous, and really demeaning to Democrats as well…can you picture the same story done for the Republican race and the resulting outcry?
