  • Extremely one-sided

    Too bad for people who portray themselves as independent media. It is quite good if you want singular perspective but then again that is not journalism but another propaganda machine in the guise of independent media.

  • Although I am a subscriber and like their work, can't really like the Hafta format which sounds more like chit chat rather than serious reporting.
