Is archive.today not working for you? AernaLingus’s comment has the CBS news link.
I like your comment but I have a suggestion. When I mention this issue at reddit - redditors often get mad and shit on me but I’m right. Smaller paragraphs are much easier to read. I try to stay under ~420 characters. Sometimes I write comments in my text editor. And two lines of text are ~420. And when I edit somebody else’s comment to make smaller paragraphs I use the ~420 number too.
It annoys me when I try to read a New Yorker (etc) article and the editor must think that longer paragraphs have gravitas if the paragraphs are insanely too long. I can’t read a ~4,000 word article where every damn paragraph is 10+ times as long as it should be.
I’m not a programmer but I did figure out a PC workaround. I copy the article as text, make it into smaller paragraphs by hand which is incredibly annoying, and then I can easily convert the “just text” into a html page on my PC so I can read the fucking thing. I’ll check out the links, photos, vid - on the original webpage.
When I read large paragraphs, I scroll so that the line I’m reading is always at the very top or very bottom of the window. That way, it’s easier for my brain to pick out which line to focus on. The downside is that it’s annoying on sites that have pop-up headers.
