Let Me Explain Why Miley Cyrus’ VMA Performance Was Our Top Story This Morning

Brutally honest satire, from The Onion.

Over the years, CNN.com has become a news website that many people turn to for top-notch reporting. Every day it is visited by millions of people, all of whom rely on “The Worldwide Leader in News”—that’s our slogan—for the most crucial, up-to-date information on current events. So, you may ask, why was this morning’s top story, a spot usually given to the most important foreign or domestic news of the day, headlined “Miley Cyrus Did What???” and accompanied by the subhead “Twerks, stuns at VMAs”?

It’s a good question. And the answer is pretty simple. It was an attempt to get you to click on CNN.com so that we could drive up our web traffic, which in turn would allow us to increase our advertising revenue. —Let Me Explain Why Miley Cyrus’ VMA Performance Was Our Top Story This Morning | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source.
