Default Paragraph Indent in News ???

Well, if you look at the news on the site you would notice that it is usually not indented.

For those of you who do not know what that is, or simply cant remember, it looks like this.

Code:
This is usual text. This is indented text.
Technically it is gramatically correct to use indented text on the beginning of a new paragraph.

How do you guys think it looks?

Normal news example: http://www.pcplayground.com/article405.html

Well, there would be a line skipped also. As you can see in the example news link story, there is also a line skipped.
