Check out the screengrabs from a trio of news sites from just a minute ago -- 1:45 p.m. -- which reveal a bit about their respective DNA:

And then there's the the Huffington Post, those wily wizards of SEO, who go all out with a screaming DANGER ZONE banner hed, a "brink" and "crisis" and "catastrophe" drop hed, and a doomsday frenzy of subheds.

Talk about brinksmanship.
