I was doing some searching through the major search engines when I came upon the yahoo front page where it features the news. I find their order of importance a bit telling.

Yahoo needs to get their priorities straight...

In whose mind is Michael Jordan crying at his son’s basketball game more important in the news than a plane crash killing 2 people? NATO troops killing insurgents? Lethal air pollution killing people? Is this simply one poor decision made in an overworked news staff room at Yahoo? Or is this indicative of our social order of importance?
