Their mobile ordering of articles clearly shows how they rank what is on their site in importance.

Nah, they rank based on what gets the most hits and always will do.

Perception of importance is irrelevant to all news agencies, just what people want to click on/read/watch.

This is literally impossible. A brand new article with zero hits (as of posting) is number 1 on their mobile.

In fact, the entire premise makes no sense. Unless you are talking about what they THINK will get more hits. Which tells you a lot right there.

A lot of these articles in the ones I posted are even regurgitated articles from.before that relate to their new storyline.

...of course I'm talking about what they think will get more hits. And that information is incredibly easy to calculate and predict with the years of user data at CNN's hands. And what it tells me is that... users (people) are dumb and click on clickbaity rubbish, which again... everyone fucking knows.

And yes... every single news site, sports news, celebrity news, politics news all recycle and update news articles because it's a lot easier and cheaper than writing a new article.

And the position of articles on mobile and desktop will be an editor decision, not an algorithmic one.
