https://www.cnn.com/ as of 10:47ET:

32 links to stories above the fold for my browser

3 are emotionally neutral or positive

---------------------------------------

https://www.foxnews.com/:

6 links to stories above the fold

0 are emotionally neutral or positive

The only thing next is to just be the violence network
