Admittedly, this one isn’t horrible, but:
Of course, CNN's site doesn't contain a category for religion, or faith, or traditions ... or anywhere else you might put something about Rosh Hoshanah, so science probably seemed like a good fit. I mean, both science and religion were boring when the editor's were young, right?
FWIW: I looked at the bottom of the page, where CNN lists even more categories, and couldn’t come up with a single one where a story like this might plausibly fall. Maybe “social commentary” … but I think that’s reserved for hectoring.
"when the editor's were young"
What an interesting corollary of Muphry's Law.
