> the latest news about who may or may not have spoken to an ambassador

I agree, that would be a "garden-variety political story." This isn't that story. This is a story about the Attorney General of the United States lying under oath and perjuring himself to Congress.

It doesn't really matter what kind of news aggregator you're running: tech, sports, gardening... that's a story that should be at the top of all of them.

There are always stories that feel that way.
