As far as I can tell news articles have more Clickbait links and malware than almost anything else on the Internet

Theyre worse than even some porn sites

This.

It's why I stick to NPR. Trying to look at anything on CNN, Independent, Washington Post, LA Times, etc it futile with NoScript and AdBlock Plus plugins.

That's probably why the Daily Stormer is so popular, no ads

They got rid of all the real news so they could devote more time to talking about Trump! That and like half the news sites now have absurdly tiny numbers of free articles with the rest being locked behind variations of paywalls. Except the Guardian, they mostly just spam a pop-up asking for money. Paying for news? That's crazy talk!

They're probably getting desperate. But for real, they are absolutely atrocious. I would wager they're probably the most obnoxious websites on the internet.

Autoplaying video/ads
Virus'y ads
Horrible site layouts
etc.

I use noscript so most of those shitty sites don't even load by default.
