Top = traffic

As 2011 comes to a close, the Facebook Political Team looked at some of the top sources for political news and what stories received the most traffic from Facebook through friend shares, pages, and social plug-ins such as the “like” button. The stories, which range from the capture and death of Osama bin Laden to the Occupy Wall Street movement, represent the type of political news people have been sharing and discussing with their Facebook friends this year.
