He seems to be some sort of digital artist. I'm inclined to think this is a demonstration of some code he's come up with... or some sort of art project. It's interesting, but not really revolutionary or ground breaking (unless it's new code, in which case, that’s pretty cool). It seems that most of the time, the stories are updated, headlines are shortened, or a word or two replaced. How predictable, that the local hater immediately jumped on the "This is FOX being terrible" bandwagon, even though that's not really the case. Elmonica, did you really look at the two sites? The site Terance talked about, "WTFCNN?" highlights CNN.com's funny or strange headlines. "The Quick Brown" highlights changes in all FOXNews.com's headlines. Where is this extra "sanity" you think you've found? I took a look at the site, and then the site by the guy who runs it. He seems to be some sort of digital artist.

Not at all. (Even after reading the un-informative site FAQ) I’ll join the choir by adding that I really do not understand what that site is trying to convey. Not at all.

Because I think that is an awful way to tease us.. I do realize you were using it as an example for the ratings, but don't be selfish. I'm sure there's plenty of cable news related thoughts you'd like to share with the people. And I promise to post regularly!
