The liberal rag, Atlanta Journal Constitution, needs to fire whoever is in charge of their website. Unless of course they are trying to drive people away. Any link you click on their main page will divert you to their obtrusive registration scheme. Once you fill out your name and email address, you need to provide all sorts of details about yourself. You also need to let them know what your interests are, so that they can spam you with stuff you might actually buy.
Don't bother with the old fake email address trick either, because you have to confirm the registration. I'd say your best bet is to sign up with the email address of the editor in chief. That way maybe he'll get all the spam.
Lucky me, after I did all this and finally got to the article I wanted to read, their advertising banner crashed my web browser and took out all the other browser windows I had open.
Try BugMeNot. They have sign-ins for all the major outlets, and if you use the bookmarklet, you can just click the favorites link while on the registration page, and voila! passwords.
