I use Google News to get links to many news articles. What is interesting today, and yesterday, is that the “Top Stories” section has few election stories.

Now, I realize that Google tries to be really smart and shape the news feeds to my preferences, but after months of articles about Drumpfskind, and less so Clinton, or this or that election issue, now all of a sudden the stories are other news - e.g. right now the big headline is the VW deal.

A couple of the “Top Stories” on the summary page are about Drumpfskind, but that is fewer than what I am used to.

(I have customized sections for “Elections” and “Donald Trump” so I can click on those for many headlines.)

Same on Facebook, btw. The trending stories on my display are mostly not election related.

Maybe Americans’ interests are now over the election? Have we, as a group, already accepted Clinton as the winner and now we are bored and want something different?
