Title: The Blaze
Post by: ToddF on May 30, 2013, 09:18:44 AM

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting tired of every story being a version of...

You won't believe what was on Saturday Night Live/MSNBC/CNN/Other TV last night

No, I don't give a flying fluke what was on TV last night.  If I did I would have watched it.  Shut up and deliver real news!   ::outrage::

Just needed to get that off my chest.  Carry on.

The thing I don't really appreciate at The Blaze is the headline teasers. They so obviously troll for page-clicks with their headlines. It's really obnoxious. Just tell me what the hell the story is about and I'll click if I wanna read it.

That too.  I just get the sense it's getting worse.  I almost don't even want to go there anymore.

It is getting worse as they learn new tricks to add clicks. One of my faves is Townhall.com but they have become so obtrusive that I will take the time to see if the article is being hosted elsewhere before I subject myself to their creative intrusions.
