Am I the only one that thinks the publishers' websites are unbelievably ugly and cluttered ?

The responsive site is pretty nice imo, the link in the repo description is wrong: http://www.theguardian.com/uk?view=mobile

Responsive is awesome, but the number of extra information is increasing cognitive burden. Duplication and buttons like print (srly?).

It worked very well from here. Went down to 100px wide and whole site fit in neatly.

edit: fixed wrong quoted sentence.

I think it does a pretty good job of bringing the identity of the paper edition to the web. The spacing seems a bit tight but the typography is decent.

If you think The Guardian is ugly, look at this Norwegian newspaper: http://www.dagbladet.no/ (one of the largest ones)

(The scary thing: It's cleaner than it used to be - they've toned down the most excessive advertising)

Yeah is ugly, but is more about the frontend package
