The political storm from last week is still very strong, even bringing in some new articles. The usual storm of Netflix productions also remains. There is even space for sports, criminals, and a theatrical movie - and yet we again managed to do what still hasn't happened in real life, get rid of the COVID-19 pandemic!
Rank | Article | Class | Views | Image | Notes/about |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Kamala Harris | 2,523,180 | The 2020 Democratic National Convention was a four day television event taking place from Monday to Thursday, with an average audience of 21.6 million viewers. While the real stars of the show were Biden and Harris, viewers got to see appearances from all of their favorite characters from the Democratic primaries, and even a few teasers for the 2024 arc. | ||
2 | Joe Biden | 1,852,528 | |||
3 | QAnon | 1,379,518 | QAnon stands alone as the only major conspiracy theory that's supportive of the government.

9 | Ronald Koeman | 767,192 | FC Barcelona isn't what it used to be: when faced with Bayern Munchen in the shortened\empty 2019–20 UEFA Champions League knockout phase, the usually victorious Spanish squad received an 8-2 thumping! Such a humiliation led to the dismissal of their coach, and in comes a Dutchman who was an old idol of the team, Ronald Koeman, most recently manager of his country's national team. | ||
10 | Betty Broderick | 749,527 | Netflix released season 2 of Dirty John, which tells some of Broderick's story - she, played there by Amanda Peet (pictured), killed her ex-husband and his new wife in 1989, and is still in jail for it. | ||
11 | The Umbrella Academy (TV series) | 650,441 | The adaptation of Gerard Way's superpowered adopted family continues, and again dealing with apocalypse prevention - only this time in the 1960s instead of the modern day. | ||

19 | Tenet (film) | 496,535 | If not for the goddamned pandemic that again missed the Report, Christopher Nolan's latest film would have already hit theaters in July. Instead Tenet is bound for release this week in the United Kingdom and next week across The Pond, with early reviews already favorable. | ||
