So … if a certain editor at Reuters is supposedly not obsessed with this story, then why is it also on the MOST RECOMMENDED LIST? Simple Math?

Uh, I think that’s the very joke John was making. And anyway, I have access to the real traffic figures, and he’s only read that story 920 times…

I must have read that story 1,000 times and I don’t get why it’s so popular either.

Arthur Spiegelman has to be one of the most left wing biased writers that tries to pass for an objective one. His Top 10 quotes article is filled with Right Wing bashing. You’re telling me that of the Top 10 quotes of the year, that 4 or 5 of them have to do with Republican bashing? Are you kidding?? The last one, with Jimmy Carter bashing the Bush Presidency…..what a joke. Jimmy Carter was one of the most inadequate presidents EVER! Mr. Spiegelman should work for moveon.org not some news company that claims to be objectice.

yes, but retrieved repeatedly how many times by the same computer (since Nov 26th)? SOMEone is obsessing over it, and you don’t really need to feed his/her obsession, by giving this non-story headliner status. I agree entirely with the previous poster. (How to lie with statistics is math, too.)

I noticed this as well. It has been on the most read list for at least 3 weeks. It moved down to number 8th on Dec 18th but the next day it was backup to 3.
