What a terrible site.

"This content is copyright protected" if you try and copy text from an article, and turning javascript off means none of the content is visible.

Reader mode (FF) works, even with the site blanked out from lack of JS

I have a No Stylesheets bookmarklet which helps on a wide variety of web pages, also for colour/font/obscured text problems etc:

  javascript:for(i=0;i<document.styleSheets.length;i++) {void(document.styleSheets.item(i).disabled=true);}

> turning javascript off means none of the content is visible.

This is actually quite common, especially for websites whose format is based on online newspapers.

Usually disabling CSS in addition to JS brings the content back.

Selecting some text and then drag it to a text editor works though. :)
