"we can adjust every font-size on the page by using media-queries to change the font-size set on the BODY or HTML element according to viewport width"

Responsive News: Fluid grids, orientation & resolution independence. Seems like a bad technical solution to what is actually a design problem. If I rotate my 16:9 tablet from portrait to landscape orientation, the font size shouldn’t double—that’s the opposite of responsive design. Clearleft can get away with it on the Ampersand 2012 web site page because there is more design than content, and the typography reflects that. But I’d hate to see the news rendered this way: can you imaging trying to read the Boston Globe if the font sizes were all over the place like this?
