Hope there’s nothing more sinister going on than the fact that FNC hired an industry web designer who’s just recycling old ideas. I know sites are constantly reconfiguring their layouts to entice visitors to spend more time there. At least this layout is easier to look at than some of the horrific bloggy monstrosities that populated the web (even major outlets) a decade ago.
I hope so too. I just found it a bit odd and thought I’d ask this question here. Freepers tend to be a cut above so if there was more to it than what I was seeing I was hoping someone might have an insight I didn’t.
