The Associated Press polled editors and news directors to come up with the top stories of 2016. Number one was no surprise: The U.S. Election.
In fact, you could probably spin out ten top stories from the U.S. Election: Donald Trump’s election, the primaries, Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, the Russian connection, Bernie Saunder’s campaign, Republican party implosion, Democratic party implosion, Clinton’s campaign mistakes, Trump’s scandals, political hacking.
Number two is like unto Trump’s victory: another unexpected populist uprising known as Brexit, Great Britain’s vote to pull out of the European Union.
