BREAKING NEWS! If Today's Media Told the Passover Story as it Unfolded

How would today's mainstream media have reported the dramatic daily occurrences from the time that the first plague broke out until the Israelites received the Ten Commandments?

In a brilliant piece of satire and technical graphic design, Aish.com has created a video suggesting the way that CNN, FOX NEWS, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, People, and The Huffington Post, among others, might have reported each of the Ten Plagues as they occurred.

Aish.com, the internet arm of Aish HaTorah, the orthodox yeshiva and outreach program that encourages Jews of all backgrounds to discover their heritage, is a 3-time winner of USA Today's Hot Site award, and has been heralded for its technical sophistication and sleek graphic design.

Each of the headline pages is meticulously crafted, duplicating the publication's layout, graphic design, and choice of typeface. We list most of the headlines below because the two minutes it takes to see the video doesn't give enough time to fully appreciate the cleverness of the titles, subtitles, and in some cases, a paragraph or more of news text. In fact, we recommend that you watch the video multiple times and pause it on each page to read as much detail as possible.
