With this arctic freeze and snow we've had this week, it goes without saying the local news stations will be all over it with information we need. There are stories about how to keep your pipes from freezing or how to deal with pipes which froze. How to stay warm by being slightly cold to conserve energy. If you have one of those furnaces that exhausts out an outside wall, watch for condensation causing freezing and then carbon monoxide. Then there are the stories on the safest way to drive on covered roads-stay home if possible.
Lots of information. But. Have you ever gone to their websites as they ask us to for more complete information? Whether it's a story link on Facebook or a link on the actual web page they are 100 percent impossible to read due to constantly moving, flickering, jumping around, ads. Start reading a story such as "How long will we have to conserve energy this week?" KSDK. Good grief it's not just annoying to try and read, but impossible. There are moving ads on the sides, ads which start up one paragraph in, ads all over and all moving.
Often an ad covers up the story which is advertising themselves. Like, hey, I'm already here, just stop this.
It's all of them. FOX2 Now, KMOV, KSDK, and channels from every city and national news outlet. They have become unreadable.
