What an absolute crock of shit. You can read the New York Times and Washington Post online, but you have to pay if you want to read the freaking Kansas City Star??? I'm not sure who was behind this stupid business decision, but it's so ridiculous that Scott Pioli must be involved somehow.

This is the direction that newspapers online have been headed for a while now. You can probably circumvent it if you wish to, but the reality is that if people don't pay for it then they will go out of business.

How in the world do you expect a newspaper to pay for good writers if people are "stealing" good content? You do realize that when they sell banner advertising, you pay for number of impressions or pay-per-click, right? So every time you bypass the banner ad through an ad blocker or every time people copy-cut-paste an article and don't visit the website, you are hurting their ability to make money through online advertising.

Just hit ESC after the page first loads the article, it'll stop the script that brings the pay banner up.

Star is a business in business to stay in business and to make a profit. They do what they must do. They are not a non- profit or a poorly run government program.

Print media is becoming obsolete, ahh well. Surely they can get all of those annoying ads and not charge like most everyone else yes?
