Okay, I know Corrik's wildly off-base a lot of the time, but his argument here is logically solid. If the majority of CNN readers see the mobile site, talking about the mobile site's front page is relevant to a comparison of news outlets.

Now you can disagree with his assessment of Fox vs CNN (which I do, Fox is rubbish), but don't call his argument nonsense.

If this was his first time doing this I would probably be on board with that but it isnt. The last time this happened he claimed they werent covering something because he hadnt scrolled down at all. He wasnt claiming it was buried he was claiming they flat out werent covering it. To him the front page on a mobile site which is designed to be navigated vertically was that only the links that show up on the initial load count. But he at least learned a little from that and this time he tossed out the line about having to scroll down 500 articles to find it. This isnt just Corrik trying to compare news organizations this is him not knowing something can exist if he hasnt personally seen it. This shapes so many of his arguments and its why he has trouble with any viewpoint that requires empathy, estimates, or statistics. If he doesnt see it with his own two eyes it didnt happen and its why Iran being the top story last night must not have happened. The mobile site has moved on and when told the desktop site would give him exactly what he wants he deems it idiotic.
