The greed of the newspapers, so many ads one had to search for the actual news articles.

You don’t sound like someone who ever read newspapers. This doesn’t describe them in any way.

52 years of reading the newspapers. Probably more years then you’ve been around.

Then why do you think there are so many ads you can’t find the articles? Are you only reading The National Enquirer or something? I mean, you’re just wrong about newspaper layout except cheap tabloids and the backs of papers where all the ads for prostitutes are.

If they're talking about the websites of the newspapers, then it's true how loaded up with ads those are.

I very much doubt that he’s been reading newspaper websites for 52 years. He’s talking about physical papers.

Probably, but it is pretty insane just how bad most newspaper-sites are.

Yes, I agree. Though given that they’re all going bankrupt, I wouldn’t call them greedy—they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
