  7. Headlines full of errors

    Teach your headline writers to (a) write correctly in English (b) check for typos before their headlines go live. Today a "celebrity" was quoted as saying that people "hurled racial ***** [sic] at her" --fortunately the story got it right and said "racial slurs." And another headline used the present tense of a simple verb when the sentence was in the past: it should have said that an employee "spat [not spit] in the pizza."

  10. The honest to paws report of September 11 is not valid. Please remove it. The opening paragraph refers to hippo population in Columbia.

    The Honest to paws entry for September 11 is false. Please remove it and track the originator. The entry sentences refer to a healthy population of Hippos in Columbia. Hippos are native to Africa. There are no native populations of hippos in Columbia, nor in any part of South america.

  12. Poorly written articles

    It is often impossible to actually get to the headline featured in the article. An example: "Big fish found in lake". To learn of the 'big fish' may require dozens of pages and often is never described. VERY poorly written and very frustrating.

  13. The caption on the main page does not go with the story. The screen is split between the two or three stories

    The caption does not go with the news story because the screen is split between the stories and the underneath story is the major picture but the caption is for the underneath story. Just put one story and one caption and we will all be better for it.

  15. If an article is a made up story and not truthful reporting of an event, then it should be labeled as fiction!

    Any articles you publish that are fictitious should be so labeled! Your subscribers need to be able to rely on AOL.com being truthful at all times.

  16. Pause automatic advancement of news items.

    For many years, once you started advancing news items, the automatic advance of news items stopped. Now, I have been told by AOL Assist, that per software changes by AOL automatic advance of new items is always on. This means that, once I select and read an article, the news items have advanced several stories past it, meaning that I have to manually backspace to get back to the next item after the one I was reading. Why are you making this harder to do, please change back to a more user friendly application.

  19. "Comments" section on AOL posted news articles

    After reading an article accessed by clicking on the "Welcome" tab on AOL Gold Desktop, there is a "Comments" tab which gives you access to comments other people have made and you can make comments yourself. Occasionally, the user may make a comment that might be prohibited e.g. the use of a profanity word e.g. a comment like "That was a **** of a stupid thing to do"
    So, a message will pop up that tells you that your comment is under review. That usually means your comment has been flagged by whatever algorithm AOL uses for such things. However,…

  20. Fact check stories for new information, rather than repeat the original narrative.

    AOL sometimes runs a story, based on media narrative, but leaves out facts learned after the event, which show the story was fabricated. ...then continue to running the story but discontinue comments. ...case in point, the article on George Floyd's actual cause of death is not given, while promoting the police brutality narrative. Not only was the cause of his death by police in question, but unfair to police rank and file, by lowering morale, making recruitment more difficult and emboldening criminals.....is this a direction we want to go?
