OK...here's the answer to the new format.
I find the front page too busy. In the old format, I could quickly see which articles I have previously read, and check the new ones. The colors of the text (blue to red for previously clicked) made for easily finding new articles.
On the major blogs (HTWW, War room, etc)...What was wrong with including all posts in their full text for, say, the previous 24-48 hours on one page so they could all be easily read. The new format seems like a flimsy excuse for racking up extra clicks. I stopped reading most of Andrew O'Heir's posts because of the annoying clickthroughs. I'm extremely disappointed to find they are now the normal for the entire site.
OK, so I'm watching the big 3 thing going on. Then, today via http://digg.com I came across this article at Forbes by Dan Gerstein: http://www.forbes.com/2008/12/09/chrysler-cerberus-bailout-oped-cx_dg_1210gerstein.html
The article refers to its ownership, the Cerberus is looking for a handout to "salvage Cerberus' investment in Chrysler"--nothing about the company...UNBELIEVABLE!!!
