I was not there 20 seconds before a pop up ad appeared.

I know the sites have to advertise but I hate pop ups with the heat of a million suns (and yes I have pop up blocker turned on, all this does is blocked the ad but not the pop up so all I see is a black square.)

So I will not be going back. May be a good site but I will never know.

Liberty Daily is 50% ads. I tried it, if they took the ads out it would be worth a return visit. Whatfinger blows them away newswise with few distractions.

Triumvirate of WhatFinger, Rantingly, and Liberty.

<>Drudge is so yesterday and, besides, Matt had a “magical moment” in the U.K.

I'm afraid to ask what that 'magical moment' was...

Bottom line: Whatfinger sucks Drudge sucks libertydaily sucks

There isn't a decent or good Conservative news site, now, on the Net, except for FR, it's all garbage/crap/trash/junk/filth/sh•t.

“Sorry, not going to a site which features those disgusting clickbait photos.”

It is puzzling how these sites with those vile pictures think that kind of thing enhances their credibility.

The interaction is priceless. It never ceases to amaze me why there are so many very good organizations that could really do some good in making a change out there and they are just simple blogs. No community forum... Just a boring blog tooting their own horn with very little interaction.

“We can’t get this ball rolling!” No... Not without a community and forum you won’t...

I have an ad blocker. Don't see anything but story links.

“WhatFinger News” has an Android app, which is nice. I just installed it on my mobile device. I like it so far...

Even the Fox News breaking site has those ads. I wouldn’t mind clicking on them if they got to the point on the first click. Clickbait ads are technically stupid. If they had any brains the people putting them up would make them so people would want to read them instead of ignoring 3/4 of the whole site. Make that 7/8ths.

Just tooki a look, can’t say I like it. Don’t like the way it’s laid out, too much clutter. I’m just not patient enough to deal with that. Besides, why is anyone looking for another site - THIS is the only site you need.

Sorry, not going to a site which features those disgusting clickbait photos.

Crips I go their wondering if I’m gonna see porn or something. I see Oscar bacon and Walgreen ads tucked into the side. You must live a very sheltered life.

That’s comforting. The way the article was heading, I was beginning to think what do I need FR for. It’s easy to forget the many advantages.

What are you talking about? Drudge?

I haven’t been to whatfinger in a long time. It has improved quite a bit. I’ll be stopping in more often. Stopped going to drudge some time back.

For all those complaining of popup ads; why aren’t you running an adblocker addon? Simple to do and makes net surfing so much cleaner.

Yep, and I want to see all the news, not just the stuff I approve or that is supposed to rile me up.
