Couldn't have said it better. And I am wary of anybody who packages stuff they define as 'news' on my behalf. I'd rather select my own mix of news sources, thank you very much.

That'll really work.

It seems like most magazines are really declining in readership, I dunno, does anybody get magazines anymore? When I occasionally want to read one, like the Economist or Field and Stream, I'm fortunate to be able to log into a library and use the RBDigital app on iOS and read it for free.
