You wouldn't if you went here

http://edition.cnn.com/US/

You'd see the story about the Somali Pirate Pleading Guilty (Important Story)
RFK's wife arrested
Airport kills John Travolta's Dog
Mt St Helens 30 years later
Motherhood to Military
Mom shocked by child's test on race
Virginia Tech disputes report

It isn't even on the list for South
But the Harry Potter Park is linked

2. LinkTV and Free Speech TV need support.
They run real news, not crap.

If we want to keep them, we have to support them, folks.

3. I don't go there, but two places I do go to all the time mentioned...
the races. On the front page, too.

(And with somewhat better analysis than I see on political sites and their built in biases.)

4. Representative government is not on their agenda
Doesn't help the corporate bottom line at all.

8. your link takes you to the CNN front page of its "international" edition, not the US edition
click on the "US" next to the word International and you'll see that CNN features the elections on its front page for US news.

12. See what you're talking about
Thanks

I still think it's odd that Travolta's dog gets more coverage than US Politics

But Thanks again
