Sorry if this is the wrong forum, it seems in practice to be the one to talk about the So-Called Journalists generally, not just their bias.
NYT's for instance of late has been spending a ton of time and money to make fancy dancy on-line graphics, for instance the one they did on the NYC Subway delays last week (this week?), and I have seen others. I just clicked a link that I thought (because there was no indication otherwise) was a text story at USA Today...it was another video, so I bailed., I almost never am willing to invest in that great time suck. The heavy graphics are almost always clutter to me, slowing me down, sometimes even making the pages load slow.
What is this, more pandering to consumers out looking for someone to titillate them? I bias towards the people too stupid to be able to consume text efficiently?
What motivates this, and how do you feel about it, what do you do about it?
I cope by avoiding most of it as best I can, but the problem is getting worse.
