(Manipulated) New York Times/Starbucks

Today, we went into Starbucks to grab coffee, get out of the cold and read the paper. We found our way to reading the New York Times. While reading, we found that the Times had grossly prioritized their stories. On the front page, accompanied by a large photograph was an article on Mitt Romney's urge to become President since his childhood, due to his father's influence, however left to page 10 was a story on Russia providing nuclear power to Iran, something which could be threatening to National Security at some point. And on page 29 a story on New Orleans, a city where many relatives of the readers of the times had lived. This is an important story to the readers and yet, through their unfortunately skewed view of what is "good news" they give the spotlight to a relatively unimportant and foolishly overstated article.
