Default How much 'actual' news does CNN have on their homepage? Not much.

"Using photoshop and some analysis this article shows how much actual news CNN features on their homepage. Once you strip out the advertising, sensationalist stuff, YouTube-like stuff and look at the actual news coverage you may be surprised. 5 whole headlines in small font for this version of the page... "

Wow. That's pretty sad.

:squint: Just because it does not have to do with world or national politics does not mean it is not important.

In addition, 'sensational' and 'YouTube-like' are very subjective terms. It honestly depends on who you are talking about.
