- Lxr 10y agoThey seem to be putting quite a lot of effort into producing actual journalism lately, and I agree it's good (I also enjoyed the tennis piece mentioned).

- beatpanda 10y agoThat's how the economics of journalism has always worked. Going after people with a lot of money at stake will never, ever pay the bills and is a great way to rack up a lot of legal fees. So in the old days you surrounded the real news with classifieds, comic strips and movie listings, and these days you surround it with cute animal videos.
