  - oh, there are ads? I have adblock installed ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 16:41
- What the hell is that? -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Oct 24, 16:21 1
  - CNN. It's a news organization, allegedly. Lately they have too much of a focus on blog stuff, rather than actual journalism, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 16:22
- Awful. -- nm - TWuG Oct 24, 16:18
- Ugh, that's hideous. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 24, 16:17 7
  - I think "hideous" may be a stretch. Looks better than it did before IMO. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 24, 16:19 6
    - They took the crap on the top and made it the larger middle section. All the actual news is in the tiny print on the left. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 16:23 5
      - I disliked their previously layout - the one big image then the links sort of next to it awkwardly down the middle. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 24, 16:35
      - From a user-interface perspective, it works better that way. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 24, 16:26 3
        
        Not a fan. - Fighting Stephen! Oct 24, 16:33 2
        
        I agree that the font could be a touch bigger, but I think it's perfectly fine to have on the left like that. - Beryllium Oct 24, 16:37
        
        I agree with the IM -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 16:34
- much better. -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 16:16 4
  - Agreed, although the red is a bit strong. - Beryllium Oct 24, 16:19 3
    - Communists!! -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 16:21 2
      - Canadian Communists! -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Oct 24, 16:23 1
        
        you asked for Canadian Communists...I give you the N, D, P. -- nm - Hand Gruber Oct 24, 16:25
