I clicked on the link and got the interstitial advertisement page for 15 seconds. It's kind of silly that I need to go through an ad just to see the homepage. I understand that they need to cover their costs with ads, and it's great that they're experimenting to make their site more usable and clear, but Reuters (and other companies that do this... Rotten Tomatoes was particularly bad for a while) need to realize that the first impression is the ad, and not the homepage, and that's a huge turn off to anyone visiting for the first time.

Yes, that sure made a bad impression.
