Default (OT) Are there any *NEWS* Websites that still post photos?

Now they have sites that require us to type in a code which they call a
Captcha, for entry, which is ONLY to view the site. I refuse to use
those sites, and just click the close button immediately. There is
absolutely no reason anyone should have to type in any code to only VIEW
a site.

We have all these fancy computers these days and are being forced to go
back to the old daily newspaper and tv coverage, if we really just want
to read and article with pictures...... Sad but true!

Anyhow, is there any site that still shows the daily news in a
"newspaper" style, neaming text and photos only?

And no, I dont use Facebook or other social media garbage....


You should Google RSS. It might be what you are looking for. Try
Feedly and use CNN as a starter news feed.


Nothing personal, but this was a totally useless response. As I
mentioned in my original post, CNN was one I tried and found useless
because it's all video based.

I never heard of feedly before, but as soon as I went to feedly.com, I
had one of those Captcha things shoved in my face. I have a policy. If a
site thinks I have time to waste filling out their fu###ng Captcha
things, just to view their site, they can shove their site up some dark
hole where the sun never shines. I simply refuse to go to the site of
any site requiring a captcha. I have never opened one of them, and never
will. If they want to drive people away, they are succeeding and with
any luck, their advertisers will dump them flat on their ass. Those
captchas win the award for the most assinine thing ever done on the
internet. I can understand signing up, or proving it's a real person, to
POST to a website, but just to view it, *NOT*. I refuse to play their
harassment game. I figure any site that uses those captchas is not worth
even going to in the first place....
