Should the news pay attention to #TheDress, runaway llamas?
Late last week, social media audiences were fixated on #TheDress and the runaway llamas in Arizona. But should the news dedicate attention to these topics?

The llamas thwarted numerous attempts by sheriff's deputies and bystanders to round them up before they were roped into custody. (AP Photo/abc15.com) MANDATORY CREDIT.
