"Swine flu" overtakes "American Idol" as the most searched term.
With the help of the news media drumbeat about the outbreak, swine flu was the most searched term on Yahoo last week, topping "American Idol." In the same week, it is estimated that more than 125,000 tweets mentioning the disease, were sent daily.
With the infection rate seeming to have plateaued and no cohort of Americans dropping dead in the streets from the disease, cable news outlets woke up this morning feeling the blues.
