People can pick and choose whether to click on the headline for more details.

The Political Forum on TOTV had an "Opt In" feature.
People would Opt In, read it and then complain to the Mods about the contents.
One poster even complained about the Political Forum while stating she'd never read it.
Oh well. I do respect the Admins decision.
They are the peeps that have to moderate the bickering.
And they have every right to make whatever decisions are best to improve our TOTV experience.

Sorry, back to the Online Newspaper ....
Barefoot: You are spot on.

Many people like to look at train wrecks. Actually there is benefit from doing so because of the negatives people who view them make attempts to stress the positives in their lives and avoid making the same mistakes.

and has a number of posters have said there is always an off/on switch.

The problem as i see it is far too many news organizations published based on their ideology. If only they all would just tell it all like it is and then let us decide.
