CNN App Does Not Live Up To Journalist's Standards

Perhaps I feel this way because I cut my teeth at a real-life newspaper, but apps and websites that lack a hierarchy seem half-baked to me. A well-edited product should guide the reader down and/or across the page, highlighting which stories are most important. Otherwise, it's of little more use than an RSS feed reader.

Note: Assigning one "top" story above a seemingly random, unranked assortment of news, columns and videos doesn't cut it.
