It's not that the ads are such a big deal. If the Washington Post (and others who do the same) are in such dire financial condition that they have to have PIMPS to pay for their website, I don't really mind having the ads there; but when the ads fail to load (from remote sites off different servers than for the page itself) it aborts the page that's the purpose of their having a website in the first place, I don't get to read their propoganda, and the whole neo-con political establishment is harmed by their failure to present the "unbiased" news that's ignored by rest of the real news media.
