Outside of wondering “why now?” in regard to the resignation of AG Alberto Gonzales, here’s something that puzzles me…
Why are were the top stories on CNN the last two times I checked them today “Glut of homes hits 16-year high” and “Killer Greek wildfires may be terror crime“?
And just in case you think my puzzlement may be because I’m so focused on an American point of view (hah!), please note that the international version of the BBC News website’s top story is (and has been all day):
“Bush ally Gonzales resigns post”
The Gonzales resignation is just a couple of side stories on the side of the CNN site.
I’m sorry, but um… this really does smell like trying to keep attention away from the story on CNN’s part… Sure, the Greek fires are important, especially to folks in Greece, but this IS an American news site, and more to the point, I was reading the U.S. edition. Even the American headline about the home-glut is not breaking news – couldn’t it have hung around on the sidebar instead?
Smells like day-old halibut in mid-summer to me, CNN…
