Yes, I follow those on Twitter. I think they use their internet sites as a loss-leader hoping to attract customers to their pay services. They are not bad for what they are.jacob wrote:This is why "neutral news", e.g. Bloomberg or Reuters, command a premium. As with all things internet, if you're not paying, you're the product. It makes sense for companies to use the "news" (or whatever it takes) that get people to hang around on their site the most.
Reuters seems to make a point to get the story out there quickly (old-fashioned scooping stories) and then correct it within hours if its wrong. Pretty bare-bones and no "analysis."
Bloomberg has more esoteric stuff about technology and business and more opinion pieces, but those are generally clearly labelled as such. I think its aimed at people who could afford to pay for a Bloomberg terminal.
