msnbc.com sucks, what now?

In My Humble Opinion
1

So they just screwed up msnbc.com by adding way too many graphics, photos, and mouse over popup menus. I used to like it as a way to get sports, financial info, and headlines. What should I use now? I use Drudge Report to find breaking news, but the right-wing bias bugs me. Plus, it doesn’t have sports scores.

I tend to stick to nytimes.com and bbc.co.uk for my news these days. The articles are more in-depth, there’s less celebrity bullshit to sort through, and the headlines bear some resemblance to the content of the stories.

Here’s all my national links: I often open all in separate tabs (firefox) at once.

I got a kick seeing that 8 of the links were greyed out, for me.

I don’t like the new msnbc design either. My local paper’s site looks exactly like it and they just implemented too. Is it some sort of template?
