Is the election over yet?

I may be a little tired of the election news cycle.

In class this week we made up NewsJacks of the CNN and Fox News front pages from Wednesday night. Despite the fact that the Northeast was still being wracked by the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, CNN felt it was necessary to *still* make one of its “above the fold” headlines about the election: namely “Can storms ruin election campaigns?”

God, I can only hope so.

I’ve noticed that CNN formats its webpages to be filled with lines and lines of tiny type, perhaps to maximize the appearance of constantly cranking out content. I tweaked some of those subheadings to underscore that practice.

There is also some commentary on gourd-on-gourd violence if you scroll down far enough.

Enjoy, and Happy Halloween (in the past)!
