So, I am doing a little Spring Cleaning on the computer and came across this project from five years ago. I was trying to gauge the manipulation of the news media by documenting the top stories that were saturating the airwaves back in the day. I am sure that most of us have forgotten these, but a quick glance through them reminds us that the more things (seem to) change, the more they actually stay the same.
