I just saw that CNN.com now has a little box at the top of their articles called STORY HIGHLIGHTS [1].

It's kind of like a five sentence summary of the main points. Apparently CNN.com feels people might not want to have to (yawn) read the whole article or maybe can't read or think well enough to get the drift of the material on their own?

Just another way to dumb down the news. Some people probably think they actually understand the content without reading the whole article that way. Yeah, like understanding Shakespeare from reading Cliff Notes.

It's really revolting.
