I feel sorry for her, don't get me wrong, but theres millions of people going through this, some even younger than Jade. It should no way be the top story.
As I just posted in the Jade Goody thread, it's even more ridiculous considering they can't show anything. At most it's an "And Finally..." story.
Being the top story does and has raised awareness of the disease. That said, it is excessive now, possibly because it's a slower news day? I don't think it could be classed as an "And Finally..." because they're generally lighter hearted, and this really isn't a light hearted story.
It's typical Sky News when it comes to these types of stories really - they tend to get a bit OTT with their celebrity stories from time to time.
The thing this weekend is, there is no obvious lead. Nothing particularly newsy, but you can always build the Jade story, and it is new at least. I think it's not a suprise they are leading with it, what else do you have?
It is cheap news at the end of the day isn't it? Like the blanket coverage of snow in London, when it left the capital there wasn't half as much coverage.
