Good old Borodin Effect
Before the switchover, Radio Moscow blurred out times of chaos and uncertainty in the Kremlin by playing uninterrupted heavy Russian music. Borodin, Khachaturian, Mussorgsky. When you heard Borodin instead of the usual overmodulated cheeriness, you knew something serious was going on. I called it the Borodin Effect.
After the switchover, Borodin has been on this side of the Pacific.

Google News thinks these are the most important headlines right now. Nasty stuff about Trump, nasty stuff about Boris, a few real events in various places.
Chaos in the Nevada caucus? Not an event. Sanders supporters frogmarched out by police? Didn't happen. Can't confirm or deny. All is sweetness and music in Hillary World.
