Unbelievable! It's now been more than 24 hours since the Jakarta bombing and here is the Mercury News' top headline:


TOP STORY
From the Mercury News

California exodus
DURING BOOM MORE PEOPLE LEFT STATE
It's not Hollywood movies or wine. It's not even the cheese. California's most notable export is people, according to new census reports released today.


Nothing about the bombing on the Mercury News home page. Oh, and here's the "Nation/World" summary:


TOP NATION / WORLD STORIES

"Drivers' attention easily diverted"? Sixteen people are killed by Islamic terrorists, and the Merc posts this shit as news? This is like a bad imitation of the Onion's one-liners. "Men, women attracted to each other." "Baseball player spits."
