Exactly the opposite. The content should be fetch as-needed. Background fetching would get all the content whether or not it's ever read. If all the apps I've grown tired of are still fetching data in the background, that IS more battery life. Or if I only read one section of the Daily when it's downloaded it all. Having background fetching available would just let the Daily off the hook for designing the app the way it should! Other news apps have solved the problem. Safari can retrieve the entire internet without background fetching. Surely the Daily's problem is easier than Safari's.
