I understand that most news content is now accessed via the web.
And that these organisations do not sell as many physical newspapers.

But I'll be ****ed if i'm going to pay to read news on the internet.

First SMH, now Foxsports. They both litter their websites with ads. Ads everywhere! They're joking if they think their traffic won't decrease by a significant amount.


It's kinda ****ed up when we live in an age where we have to pay to read news articles surrounded by ads yet we can watch HD pornography for free!

But still, paying for online news is gay.

Yeah that didn't work for me on DT or HS.
You are right. There is so many ads it's wrong you have to pay.
I only read 2-3 articles a day anyway & the rest is crap. I could grab a free paper at the gym but don't even bother

Google Chrome Incognito
I work at Fairfax and they are aware of users using incognito to by pass the paywall.

News Ltd are going to make users to actually register properly before they can access the news site.

Fairfax haven't caught onto this yet but they eventually will have to.

That wouldn't work for me either and I had to register after a while still
I still use incognito without having to register

A lot of news websites are doing it now, not just Aussie ones. I'll be fuct if I EVER pay to read/see/hear the news.

I bypass all the BS anyway and just go to sport. And the Google Chrome trick still works for me on both Jews Ltd AND JewFax.

Man, speaking of foxsports. WTF is up with their TV channel? Whenever you press red and the news comes up, the fck is with the questions marks. Example:

Random sports person said ?hello, nice day today? and I can't think of anything else to add to this quote so I'll type ?I can't think of anything else to add to this quote? so it beefs the quote up

Oh, man. You know how hard it is to explain to the missus why you looked up "Farrah Abraham video"?

The answer is "Very".
