What we REALLY care about
CNN's 'breaking news' topic (Britney and KFed's divorce annoucement) inspired me to take a closer look at their website for more insightful journalism.
As of 2:25pm on November 7th, this was the top 10 most viewed new stories:
1. Britney Spears divorcing
2. Britney sex tape lawsuit dismissed
3. Hill on CMA reaction: Just joking
4. S.C governor forgets voting card
5. Man jailed for puppy in oven
6. 'Real Borat' seeks apology
7. Suit: Burger King sold pot burgers
8. Parties duking it out for Congress
9. DA: Famed racer killed in vendetta
10. String Cheese Incident to break up.
Nothing is about the election except for #8 (#4 is just gossip). Nothing is about current events in Iraq.
If this information is accurate, it seems to be clear where peoples' priorities lie. Or at least CNN's priorities for featuring so many irrelevant stories.
