I tried to read that link and received not 1, not 2, but 3 pup-ups simultaneously, two of which covered the screen.

Newspaper websites are moronic.

 

I have an AdBlocker and still get some sites with pop-ups and screen covers. I ignore them and leave the site immediately.

If you're that stupid and rude to do that to readers, I have no need for your stories. At least wait until the end or the reader is trying to click away before flashing the pop-ups.

 

Reuters to name Alessandra Galloni as its next editor-in-chief

The guy is in his mid-60s. Retirement is on the horizon, so I'm not betting he'll stay at the LAT for long. I wouldn't call his hiring "striking gold," as one reporter noted on Twitter.

 

After the last guy, you would.

 

True. The LAT has literally decades worth of shitty editors. Still, how long will Merida REALLY last, again, with retirement right on the horizon?
