Why does WashingtonPost.com's interface suck so much?

I don't really like visiting WaPo's website, what stories I do read I filter through GoogleReader. Occasionally, though, I drop by.

Something I just noticed is just how awful the interface is configured. The columns are cramped on the left, ads run on the top and the center, and the entire right side is vacant.

Compare this to The New York Times:

Or the Wall Street Journal:

Or ThinkProgress

Terrible.
