Whats more interesting for me, is the way that a lot of news stories are specific examples of interesting things ripped out of the odd bit of research. For example, once the Forbes 400 list has been compiled you could pretty much auto-generate articles like this one. They've just dragged in a load of facts about the two people, combined with facts about the people from their Rich List. There's pretty much no non-trivial analysis here.
