When a 7.8 Isn't Top News

china_quake_downplayed I started going through my Google Reader feeds when I ran across folks blogging about the earthquake in China some number of hours ago. From the chatter about it, the quake sounded pretty big.

So, I figured I would go over to msnbc to check out more info about it. The top story, though, wasn't about the quake. Instead, it was about a large storm that went through a few states killing a couple of dozen people.

What a night, huh?

The quake, on the other hand, was supposedly felt from Beijing to as far south as Hanoi.  That's a rather large radius, especially to not make top spot on news sites. 

Don't get me wrong; the storm is probably more correctly the top news.  That's really the part that's sad. It's even the same on Google News, which is supposedly all automatically generated.

Anyway, I'm off to find happy news. Does that exist anymore?
