Notify if a link is to video or text

I'm tired of clicking a review/news link on the front page only to see that it's a link to Cnet TV and a video. I can read just fine thank you and am sick of Cnet TV, especially the advertisements.

An example on the front page right now under "New in reviews" I see "Avoid exploding laptop batteries". I'm interested to read about it only to click the link and see an advertisement for Best Buy then a slow as hell Cnet TV video.

Click the back button to see if there's ANYWHERE that says the link is leading me to a video and there is none.

Please, do a better job of letting people know what the hell they are going to, text (not all of us need to be babyfed information through videos) or Cnet tv.
