There is only one source of media. The independent voices sell out.

What did it ever bring? It was showcased for a few years and they fished in a bunch of subscribers, that made their money and sold out.

Pretty good coverage of the teams I follow. Significantly better than some local newspaper

They sold a product I was interested in, and I bought it. The product was as described, and I enjoyed it. I am free to cancel at any time. And that’s a… scam?
