The most important story is about what?

A missing plane?

Or threats to our democracy? Saw this at DailyKos today.



If you don't know what this refers to, you've not been watching or reading the news, because the story has been there.

But it is not still in the news, because a plane is still missing. And, oh yeah, there is still random acts of violence and tragedy:

From my friend Mary

My friend Mary today posted this on her Facebook page:

"The SCOTUS just sold out the U.S. and there was an 8.2 magnitude earthquake in Chile, yet CNN's top 'breaking news' story is STILL about a plane that crashed into the ocean weeks ago."

Amen.

Here is what she is talking about with the SCOTUS (US Supreme Court). Mark it down. April 2, 2014, the day democracy in America died.

Yet, the lead story on CNN was still about a missing plane.

Well, untill yet another shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. It is now CNN's lead story.
