Tangential: I follow cnn.com because they matter and I think we need to read widely these days. I just couldn't deal with the aggressive, auto-play video all over the place, so last week I wrote a userscript to monitor all of their pages for video and strip it. My cnn.com experience jut got a lot better.

I don’t know how to break this to you, so here text only cnn from cnn:

I was aware. Thanks for mentioning that. Personally, I think that the layout of the site, the size of things, the number of clicks it takes to get to particular information are all important when my goal is to understand what messages they are selling, not just to consume their content.
