It sort of sucks, I've not worked out the work around for wsj ... I've not added the news site to my deny list yet ... many other news sites have been though -- saving precious seconds.

My easier work around is, though more often not accurate enough to make a really thoughtful relevant comment here at HN, is to attain an idea of what might be there, since much of news is simply regurgitation of other news sources, by way of a search using the topic headline - if nothing obvious is listed in the first page, refine the search and restrict to news for the last day or week. Sometimes it doesn't work out if the topic article material is original, but I find nearly always there's some basis to the walled article elsewhere. eg [1] [2] ... Now I've checked for the twenty words of text I'm presented with at wsj, the more probable close match for article content is [1]
