Articles With Long Source Explanations

When reading an article and the quoted source spoke on "condition of anonymity because" and then there is a very long explanation of why. Something like: "because they weren't authorized to discuss the governor's political plans publicly." I hate that and can't read around it fast enough.

Your article's good but your source info's boring
The long explanations I'm always ignoring
Just cut to the chase
Learn how to erase
What writer wants to leave their audience snoring?

Racially Offensive Comments Posted on Online Articles

Peeve: Racially offensive comments beneath every article on every internet news site! The articles don't even have to have anything to do with race, yet half of the comments are!

Why do online comments focus on race?
Even on articles about outer space!
Race has no relation
To a launched space station
Publish this...shut the hole in your racist face
