I mentioned in another posting that some headline items at online news sites are not current. Browsing through the ABC News: Nightline page I see a headline titled “Natalie Portman takes on terrorism.” (Okay, maybe that really shouldn’t even be a news headline but it got my attention).

With the current conflict in the middle east and knowing that Portman is Jewish, I thought that it might be something related to the crisis between Israel and Lebanon. But, no, it was a story dated March 26, more than four months ago, about her movie “V for Vendetta.”

Of course, the page does have a link to the side to a video clip that says it’s about Natalie Portman’s views on terrorism. Is it? It’s a minute long clip of a longer interview locked away in the premium video services.

A lot of the ABC News site seems to be all about getting you to click on the links and convince you to pay out for the premium service. Of course, that’s the online business but it’s rather annoying. I’ve always thought as the major networks as commodities when it came to their news offerings. If I choose a premium service with one of these networks, I’m only going to select one….which one?
