interesting. I'm glad I don't visit their site. I put a few others in. ABC and ESPN got 5 stars. MSN got 1 star.

For me, the worst sites are the sports sites - ESPN, NESN (for boston sports) - ads, videos, all sorts of pop ups - makes you not want to visit them.

(21,056 posts)it sure opened my eyes on a few sites like MSN, TPM, and CNN. I won't be visiting 1 star sites. Glad that MSNBC was 5 star.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
