6. Tell me your placement of these two stories on the frontpage of a newspaper:

Oct 2022

- A political assassination attempt on the person second-in-line to the presidency that leaves their husband seriously wounded and needing surgery after his skull was fractured

- "Inflation and Wages Continue to Climb Rapidly, in Bad News for the Fed"

Which do you think is worthy going "above the fold" and which is not? Which is the more important story? And then go and see where The New York Times decided to place the two if you want to see """MSM""" downplaying it.
