Of the 6,302 articles that appeared in Google's 'top stories' page that month after a term was searched, more than 10 percent were by CNN.

Not surprising either that there's a large annoying "Goggle" pop-up ad at the top of the page if you scroll backwards towards the top. I haven't used Goggle in ages, I avoid at all costs.

US news media has four main sources for dedicated national news: NYT, Wash Post, WSJ and USA Today.

NYT & Post liberal content.
WSJ conservative content.
USA Today is the American version of the Guardian/Daily Mail...lots pictures, short on content

Which source is missing....?

I think it's tailored to you. My Google feed show plenty of Fox news and hardly ever an CNN article.

My home page opens with headlines from Yahoo. ALWAYS negative Trump or some liberal crap. 95% of the "media" is simply an arm of the democratic party.
