Mm, I actually mostly use it for my local news. Sadly, the onion doesn't write specific to Austin, Texas. Also, on my local setup, I have it for gaming/films/other niche interests that are just for me. Also, I like that it's realtime, and that I can click on it to get the real headline/info.
Ah that makes sense. Bleak comment on what's happened to local journalism though, time was you could rely on finding a good writer or broadcaster to deliver that.
