I can’t stand all the commercials so I get most of my news online. Fox seems to be the worst. One story - six commercials - another story - eight commercials.
I agree. They used to almost apologize for breaking away to pay for the airtime...they say something like that.
Now it’s like you say, far more commercials than news.
Free Republic sidebars are probably the fastest review of the news I can get.
If I had to pick any other site that had a comprehensive list of news I’d go here: http://www.christianheadlines.com/
They’re pretty good.
