Forced to watch a video

Anytime you click on a news story that has an accompanying video, you are forced to watch and listen to a commercial. You can not pause the ad, nor can you mute it, which is really irritating if the volume is turned up loud. Please make it so the video can be muted at least, if not paused, so I can read the story rather than watch the video.
