CNN's Human Interest

Has anyone besides myself noticed the human-interest stories featured as top news events on the CNN homepage ("story" here)? How anti-war can you get? Despite all the things going on in the world, the best thing the producers at CNN could place in the top news section is stories about dead soldiers! How can you call yourself a unbiased, respectable news organization when you devote the top story area of your site to stories that is not really "news"? Further proof that CNN is not interested in presenting us facts about the world we live. Rather, they are more interested in presenting human-interest stories that seek ratings and seek to spread a certain political interest. Why is the human-interest stories of an Iraqi family walking miles and dodging bullets to just vote not shown as a "top story" on the CNN homepage? This news organization is not interested in presenting unbiased facts; they are against this war and against this President and are willing to do whatever to make sure everyone else feels the same way.
