I couldn't help that despite the "hard" news content dominating Huffingtonpost, the most popular news stories among the site's readers have been fluctuating about Obama, Hillary, and some ridiculous incoming "soft" news, such as "Kathleen Turner on Cougars and Angering Nicholas Cage" and "Johny Knoxville on Stunt Misshap: I almost lost my own balls." I think that these two types of media is at the moment most popular saids alot about the status of our media and just the extent to which people are informed. As our readings have outlined, readers do not necessarily read the news because they should, but for entertainment. Are we learning anything of substance? The headlines of the political news are extremely dramatized, which shows that people are getting bored with the election coverage.
