Online news is fundamentally different than print. The story order changes throughout the day, as news breaks. If it was a slow news day, this could easily have made it to the top, then pushed down as more sad revelations about this most corrupt of all administrations takes the lead.

CNN also has to compete more directly with Faux "News" for eyeballs. It costs a lot to stay on the air. Faux does it because millions of morons like you love the taste of the puke spewing from insHannity and Fuc*er Carlson.

But, being a right wingnut, you probably aren't up on how things work these days, lol.
