This is pretty much the most important one if we're talking about how our daily lives will be affected. It's literally the law being changed in front of our eyes to allow old outdated B.S. like television ads, crappy services, etc. to transition to new services in the coming century.

Because it's not really that shocking. Trump very openly puts corporations ahead of people, which surprises nobody because of his background. The repeal of consumer protections like net neutrality is completely within the bounds of what would expect from that, as is appointing an FCC chair who cares more about ISP's profit margins than service delivery.

Disney buys Fox


Disney isn't buying Fox and hasn't even bought 20th Century Fox yet. However, that was the most surprising thing because it was very out of left field.

The Olympics banning Russia was also a little surprising.

This, tbh, although more a matter of famous people being outed as racists because I kinda suspected many of them were rapists. Surprised that it won't mentioned.

...not to mention that it literally almost happened under Obama just a few years earlier. While there might be some seesaw on the issue, it was always bound to see some it go at some point.

Disney was the biggest shock of 2017. The Las Vegas shooting was shocking only by the sheer numbers, but a mass shooting in the USA is like hearing about a fire in a furnace.

Aside from those, the most shocking and surprising story in 2017 for me was the election of Andrew Scheer as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. He wasn't even in the top 5 most likely contenders and I had never heard of him until he was elected.

The death of Charlie Murphy was also incredibly shocking.
