Trouble finds Tim McGraw at Washington state show

NASHVILLE — If Tim McGraw isn't looking for trouble, it must've been looking for him. Fan video shot Tuesday in Auburn, Wash., shows the country singer help eject an unruly fan.

McGraw shouts "Get rid of this guy," summons security and helps arriving crew members haul him onstage. When the heavyset fan moves toward McGraw, the singer threatens him with a cocked fist as he's hauled away.

The band's performance of "Indian Outlaw" never stopped. And as if on cue, McGraw steps to the mic and picks up with the line "I ain't lookin' for trouble ... ."

A statement from McGraw's representative says he witnessed the man rush up and attack a female, and he intervened when security couldn't respond quickly enough.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Christ AP, find a tense, past or present, and stick with it. No one would want to copy this crap onto their blog anyway, so I guess your in the clear.

Dear Media:

Once again, I ask you, please to keep entertainment news in the entertainment section. While all news currently seems to lack substance, at least perhaps keep an illusion of relevance by limiting "top news" stories to those stories which may actually have some real impact on people's lives.

Thank you,
Eric

If you look at the first Tag that AP applied to this story which I coped above, you can see its already in the Entertianment Group and also selected for that group as on the Top Grey bar "Entertainment: is highlight.

Yes, but it also shows up in my "top wire" box. Which is what I'm complaining about.

    No, but there's two stories about Redmond O'Neal, famous apparently only for being the son of one of Charlie's angels. I expect this sort of thing from TV. But I wish Newsvine (and the AP) had higher standards.

      I think it looks first at what is popular on the AP feeds and then at what your location is and then selects from there, I am checking if that can be user configured or not as I agree, reading about Redmond O'Neal, would not be exactly at the top of my list either... The entire front page, I feel needs some reworking. I am passing suggestions however on to management on these.

      Well thanks for paying attention. But it's really less about my personal preferences and more about a duty I think the news media owes the entire community, a duty to enlighten first, entertain second.

      For example in the case of Redmond, there is important information that could have been provided about substance abuse, using Redmond to help emotionally connect the facts to the reader's world. But instead, it's just gossip.

      Which is OK I guess, it just should not take up positions of prominence.

        To be honest, just addressing it in the column, it has a very small chance of ever getting noticed. However if you go to the top of the page and click the black button "Report a bug" and then select "Site Suggustion" it lands directly on managements desk and they do look at those every monday morning.
