This popped up in my Google newsfeed. Crap story but does anyone really classify Salford as near Yorkshire?
God knows where they drag their "journalists" from.
Also proof reading is obviously non-existent as there's a glaring error in the first sentence.

Yep, all about clicks. Misleading readers is the game now.

Honestly, it’s the most unreadable website I have ever encountered.

I know if I want to read an article, I will have to prepare myself for about a 5 minute load time and 3 page crashes.

Do not even ATTEMPT to scroll down the article before it has finished loading, the page will crash if you don’t wait for the 19 video ads and 7 pop ups

The flipping Hartlepool Mail and its sister papers are shocking. The usual tactic is to post a story about the 'supercomputer' predicting who will finish in the top 6 in the Champo. When you open it the predictions are for all the teams and start at the bottom with 4 teams per page meaning you have to click through 6 pages, with all the attendant adverts, to find who's at the top. When you're on 0.5Mb broadband it's ****.

Don't be jumping up and down on that new computer just because it's not working!

It doesn't matter! The title at the top changes by location but it's still all the same sh1te.

You shouldn't be taking your anger out on poor Gazette journos just because you're disappointed the Hooters branch is so far away.

It might be preferable to Spoons in Workington

Unfortunately it’s typical of all of the Reach group newspapers. All set up the same,with teaser headlines to get you in, ridiculous adverts all over that take ages to load “ you will be amazed when you see how ***** looks now” absolutely rubbish.

Use the app for gazette website. Its 900% less utter ****. Doesnt change the journalism but its much easier to read stories etc and faster to load.
