I can think of three major stories that should be leading AL.com right now:
1) the unconstitutional arrest of a blogger who was writing about Bob Riley's son;
The guy openly states he skipped a court hearing and refused to obey a court order. Both of those get you arrested anywhere in the US. In most places, you also sit in jail until you see the judge you skipped out on. Nothing unusual or unconstitutional at all.
2) the controversy at Alabama State University;
The story is all over every major media outlet in the state, including AL.com. Many streamed the whole 3 hour shiatshow yesterday afternoon and WSFA TV carried it live. I don't know how it could get any more coverage.
3) the sale of the Thyssenkrupp plant that received an obscene amount of tax dollars/credits from the state.
The planned sale story is over a year old. Unless something's changed, they still don't have a buyer so there's nothing new to report
I only see one current newsworthy story and it is getting the coverage.

In this case it constitutes prior restraint, which is absolutely unconstitutional. I won't comment on this further as it probably belongs on the politics board.
