Current CNN.com frontpage stories:
* Yellowstone tourist dies in 500-foot fall * Elevator crushes child visiting his grandmother * Mid-air crash kills pilot before air show * Couple finds cat playing with 7-foot-long snake * 92-year-old jumps out of plane * World's most expensive lemon?
And this is above the fold, i.e., these are the _top stories_ of the day. When people make fun of Wikinews' story selection, I often wonder if they reflect on the stories that are selected by the media they actually use. I hope we will be able to do a lot better than this in the long run.
