What's the News like?

This morning, April 16, 2008, the top stories from various news sources online are as follows:

1.) CNN: State now a danger to kids, sect's moms say (Regarding polygamous ranch Raid)

2.) The Gaurdian: Change in Farming can feed the world

3.) The Economist: Delta Airlines and Northwest are to Merge

4.) China Daily, English version: Comment: CNN owes China an apology for slandering

5.) China Daily, Chinese version: 普京当选统一俄罗斯党主席 Putin to be elected (as the) unified Russian party chairman.

Of these five headlines, the only one mentioned on NPR's 7am news summary podcast was Putin as leader of new Russian Party.

Huh.
