From the AP News twitter feed just now

The Associated Press ?@AP 2m

VIDEO: A rare zonkey – a cross between a zebra and a donkey – was born this week at a zoo in northern Mexico: http://apne.ws/1htQ23q

Remember when the AP broke big important news stories? That a donkey knocked up a zebra is funny as hell, but I didn't think it was "news", unless you were the zebra's husband.

Don't see anything wrong with also publishing stories about zonkies. Seems newsworthy to me.
