Compare the frontpage of CNN to the frontpage of the BBC
the difference is staggering
the international audience switched away from CNN a number of years ago, so they need to appeal mostly to americans
the international version of bbc.co.uk appeals to an international audience, but the uk edition (which is more comparable to cnn as it's meant to be seen domestically) doesn't
the uk front page of bbc has a banner head for some program called "the nature of britain" which doesn't look like it has a whole lot to say
i agree that cnn isn't great and bbc is a little better, but it's not some panacea
why is this a big deal? they took an issue and put a human face on it. that's a pretty normal thing to do.
it's a human interest story
which is actually pretty common
but it's not really news, is it
Human interest stories are great.
Had this been in CNN Health, I would have been "oh, ok." But front page news this is not.
it's on the front page of cnn health
on cnn's home page, it is one headline listed in the latest news section, which i'm assuming is automated based on the fact that it's ordered by how long ago each article was posted
This is the part of the conversation where someone calls TFS a pretentious fagboat and Defender comes in here and lectures us on the definition of the word "Pretentious"
