To help make sure Bob over at ?Bob?s Industrial Storage? is keeping up to date on all the latest and greatest trends of his chosen industry? Please. At the end of the day regardless of whether your Time-Warner or YNOT, you abide by the universal law of diminishing returns. End of story.
Thats why I listen to NPR for all my news I read all the articles and get a few of the mags. I sometimes read a cool thing I didnt know or something to help my business, I will not deny that. We are now in rough times and there is no press to ask the tough questions for us. I also understand someone buys a shit load of advertising and you're not going to run them over the coals. I am a businessman I can understand that. I would rather have a news site I pay $10 a month to be a member of and get the hard articles and interviews, one that doesnt depend on ads like NPR . Infact I just pledged to them today
