CNN's Top Stories on Election Day

[PopHistorian]

I thought this showed some evidence of manipulating what is news.
Below is the entire list under TOP STORIES at cnn.com on Election Day here in the US:

# Britney Spears files for divorce
# Time.com: Democrats could trip over Maryland
# The Ticker: Crashed laptops lead to long lines
# Jeff Greenfield: What to watch for -- hour by hour
# Man jailed for putting puppy in warm oven
# CNNMoney: Pope, Bono buy bonds for kids' vaccines
# Orthodox Jews set fires, stab to stop gay parade Video
# Suit: Burger King sold pot burgers to cops
# Family's dogs kill 2-year-old in front yard Video
# Faith Hill on 'angry' CMA reaction: Just joking
# Britney sex tape lawsuit dismissed
# 'Real Borat' seeks apology

There is nothing at all that could reflect on either party -- no overseas news at all among Top Stories.

And the US section:

- Letters to God to go to church
- Cleveland house fire kills 4 children
- Prof studies the psychology of eating

And the WORLD section:

- Hussein to Iraqis: Be forgiving
- Compromise eases Kyrgyz tensions
- Panama wins seat on U.N. Security Council

This is so amazing and unbelievable! Talk about pulling the wool over the American public's eyes, and effectively putting them to sleep.

Also seems to be a clever use of NLP words. Heck, even Saddam was quoted as though he were a saint! Nothing to worry about folks, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
