- 2 It’s too boring. It’s too old-fashioned. It’s too unwieldy. It’s too smelly. It’s too expensive.
- 3 because some things are just the opinions of the journalist.
- because I’m afraid of the manipulation of media.
- because the government (or corporations) can control the information.
- because stories are often sensationalistic.
- 4 even though I am not interested in sports.
- even though there is something special on another page.
- even though I should also read the other pages.
