You better believe it! By the way, two of your news site links actually had text resizers...
Surely it's not a universal thing, but as I said above
in news sites, often with long texts, you get that in much much greater proportion...www.cbsnews.com
abcnews.go.com/
www.independent.co.uk/
online.wsj.com/home-page
www.euronews.com
www.liberation.fr
www.msnbc.msn.com/
www.washingtonpost.com
www.haaretz.com
www.foreignpolicy.com
www.thenation.com

You don't see a text resizer
here
or

?
The above two links are from your list...
If you check out the articles, you will find a text resizer. - You can call me George

Well it's not on the frontpage right?
But if you are happy with that .. yes there is a resizer.
But I still dont think that's a much used feature since all people pressing cmd +

Yes, users use CMD + (on Mac) or CTRL + (on Windows) for quick magnification.
You can also set the browser to enlarge the text only and that is what people with poor eye-sight will have as default... - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

I believe you are missing the point...
...people with poor eye-sight make take specific steps, but average users may use the text-resizer for various reasons:
1) If a news site has a somewhat large font, some may want to decrease it to make better use of the visible area within the browser window...
...some sites use both large fonts AND have really narrow content area...in this case being able to reduce the font-size ONLY for the article text might be a welcome feature.
2) Other sites may use small fonts or more "calligraphic fonts" which are not optimally suited for long texts..so users may want to increase the font-size (again for the article text, not the whole area)
3) There can also be more occasional uses of the feature...i.e. one may want to read some articles in a more laid-back mode, resting back in his/her chair, further away from the screen, so in this case one might appreciate a text-resizing feature (for article text) - You can call me George
