I'm sorry, would you care to elaborate? It's black text on white background. Very good contrast. Pretty big font. What was wrong exactly? Did we read the same page?

look at it on a high resolution screen (eg 1440p).. - 2/3+ of the screen is wasted.. why am i penalized for having a solid resolution? - unnecessary javascript text animations.. this is a story about injustice.. not a trailer for star wars - dropcaps the that literally take up 1/2 the width of the text container.. - enough scrolling to properly piss you off.. and no, this isn't because of the content.. its because of shit design

this is a heavy article to begin with. i got frustrated with the horrid design before i got half way through and copied it into text editor without any styles

It's white text on a dark gray background. If this looks pure black to you, your display's contrast may be too high.

But you're right that there's a pretty good amount of contrast. It might be difficult for people with visual disabilities, but it's not low-contrast.
