What I like about this site is the variety and layout of the main news stories.
What I do not like is the 'tease' to get me to click the link, just tell me what/who the story is about. "Supermodel hurt in car crash" Who? There are a million "Supermodels".
Also I do not like the links on the right side that are really what I call "Bing Bait", they are not links to a story, they are links to the bing search engine about a story, just to get the search engine some hits. IF I wanted to search a news story I would search, if you know of a news story, give me the story, not a search on it.
