⭠ Last week's report

In a week with above-average pageviews, October 2020 kicked off with a bang. U.S. politics has also turned up to 11.

Rank	Article	Class	Views	Image	Notes/about
1	Proud Boys		3,156,661		A right wing organization, founded by #13, that has been involved in violence during the George Floyd protests in Portland and Seattle. At the first debate (#11), Trump (#6) was asked to denounce right wing violence, but instead told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by." He later said he had never heard of them. Well, he also said he wasn't sick. The Proud Boys listened. So did the gay community, who responded by posting "Pride/Proud Boys" images on social media to drown out the associated hashtags.
2	Amy Coney Barrett		2,031,099		Trump's nominee to fill #25's Supreme Court seat. A reception for her was held in the White House Rose Garden on September 26, which may have led to a COVID-19 outbreak; Barrett herself tested negative.
3	Joe Biden		2,006,956		He's gone up in the election polls, not that they can be taken as golden. He called #6 a clown on live TV broadcast around the world.
4	Watts family murders		1,557,212		Netflix released American Murder: The Family Next Door, a not- Ryan Murphy-created documentary about this crime story on September 30. Looks like people have swapped out musicals for true crime on their TV list.
5	Hope Hicks		1,551,856		A member of the GOP campaign who was the first confirmed case of the misinformation-ridden White House COVID-19 outbreak. It was first said she gave it to everyone else, which is perhaps not true.
6	Donald Trump		1,360,610		What Trump hasn't done this week would be shorter to explain. He's currently in hospital, potentially with COVID-19, not long after being only one part of the worst presidential debate ever. Also, his taxes got released (did you forget about that?) and showed that he paid $0 for 10 of the last 15 years, and only $1500 over 2 years while President.
7	Beau Biden		1,216,530		The sons of #3 were a subject of Trump's rather hate-filled interruptions during the debate to end democracy.
8	Hunter Biden		1,156,403
9	Enola Holmes (film)		960,934		Henry Cavill has now played another iconic character starting with an S, Sherlock Holmes, even if the title makes clear the subject of this Netflix release is his sister, played by #16.
10	Chris Wallace		941,406		This journalist moderated the last presidential debate of 2016, and had the ungrateful job of moderating the first of this year, where #6 interrupted, taunted, and bullied, even leading his opponent (#3) to ask him to shut up.
11	2020 United States presidential debates		891,509		The first was "a shitshow". The rest might not happen.
12	Deaths in 2020		824,820		See you in heaven if you make the list. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
13	Gavin McInnes		787,884		#1 was founded by this right-wing pundit. The name, believe it or not, originates from a Disney song McInnes first heard in his daughter's recital.
14	Ratched (TV series)		759,765		A yes- Ryan Murphy-created TV series about the infamous nurse (played by his muse, Sarah Paulson, pictured). It's probably like AHS.
15	Mahatma Gandhi		746,191		Indians continue to remember Mohandas during the holiday of his birthday, Gandhi Jayanti.
16	Millie Bobby Brown		723,875		The once and future Eleven finally plays a role that like herself is British, Sherlock Holmes' teenage sister - not an Arthur Conan Doyle original, but instead created for a series of books whose first novel is the basis for #9.
17	Helen Reddy		681,419		The singer died September 29, and it's testament to this week's news tricycle that I didn't hear until this list was being compiled. RIP.
18	Antifa (United States)		661,317		I don't know, another Trump-spiracy theory? He mentioned it at least once during #11.
19	The Boys (2019 TV series)		647,715		Only one episode left for this season of Prime Video's take on family\society-unfriendly superheroes.
20	Armenia		597,138		If you were too busy focused on the other side of the world (the ones with the Americas), these two have started a new war.
21	Azerbaijan		592,075
22	Genshin Impact		574,473		A video game not unlike Breath of the Wild, which got released on September 28.
23	Melania Trump		567,370		She also got sick, but isn't in hospital.
24	LeBron James		559,853		The greatest basketballer in the NBA got to his tenth final and is the favorite to win it all alongside his Los Angeles Lakers, which also include another superstar in Anthony Davis and whose championship dreams are also fueled by trying to honor the late purple-and-gold legend Kobe Bryant.
25	Ruth Bader Ginsburg		540,396		RBG is still being mourned.
