Tool-ified Meta-tagged overkill is not limited to news sites, we bloggers are guilty of it too. I'm all for meta data and empowering tools, but we'll need to find a proper balance between them and actual content. Sometimes the whole thing reminds me of browser buttons people decorated their sites with back in '96. "This site is best viewed in a browser on a computer screen." Doh.
