This seemed more like a running "who was bombed today" news feed. Those events are important and meaningful,

I beleive staying informed about world events and geopolitics is important, but some of these stories don't even have that redeeming value. The 4th story is about the death of 5 Russian mountain climbers in Nepal. In what world is that one of the most important stories for a mainstream English speaking audience?

I agree the design of the site is good, but the specific news chosen leaves a lot to be desired.
