Many good points in this story but why is it that so many political news blogs are so burdened by pop ups and refreshing ads that you can’t read the darn story without the page crashing at least twice?

" . . . why is it that so many political news blogs are so burdened by pop ups and refreshing ads that you can’t read the darn story without the page crashing at least twice?"

About 2 years ago, many web sites went from the old format of highlighting a few stories and providing links to others, to a format in which virtually every story, complete with photos, is on the front page. Unless you have mega-memory, it takes a long time for the page to load, and you scroll down and scroll down and scroll down ad nauseum. Posting comments on these sites can become problematical, sometimes almost impossible, without the site freezing. Some conservative sites - like National Review - are among the worst offenders.
