Give me real news

At this moment the cover story at the Ny times website is, for once, terrible old news. Well, Its about a NEW book... concerning the authenticity of Robert Capa's famous "Soldier" photograph

.....

*Yawn*

Maybe this is more educational..since i had my doubts how to tranlate "Komkommertijd" (From Wikipedia)

The Silly Season (.....)In many languages, the name for the silly season references cucumbers (more precisely: gherkins or pickled cucumbers). Komkommertijd in Dutch, Norwegian Agurktid, Czech Okurková sezóna, Polish Sezon ogórkowy, Hungarian Uborkaszezon and Hebrew עונת המלפפונים (Onat Ha'melafefonim) all mean "cucumber time" or "cucumber season". The corresponding German term is Sauregurkenzeit ("pickled cucumber season"). In Norway it is called agurknytt ("cucumber news").

Side-effects

A side-effect of stirring up the public in this manner comes when an authentic story is dismissed as a prank, or when a superfluous story is taken as legitimate.
