A screen shot off my Earthlink page just minutes ago. Look at what they chose for four of their five "top U.S. news" stories.

5. Why even use Earthlink

It's funded by $cientologists. It's common knowledge. If you need another ISP, just ask me!

6. Apparently it's not common knowledge.

I can find another ISP if I want to, TYVM.

12. It is said to be a money-making organization and not a religion.

Personally, I don't know all the details, but that's what I hear.

9. Great example of "newsholes" too

Note all the social stories while the real economic story gets lost in the "social" headlines. The US when Germany had been sufficiently weakened by their war by studying the "holes" between the news stories in their paper that told the real story about public sentiments near the end of the war.

Ya just gotta wonder what people are gleaning from us.
