    Red Herring is right. I bet they led a lot of people down the garden path in their previous incarnation.

    So, what news will they cover? The latest outsourcing to Bangalore? What to do while waiting in the unemployment line? What homeless shelters have the least cockroaches?h

    They are trying to pitch the site as an Economist-style, no-bylines gig.

    Never invest in an group whose goal is: "We aim to be like 'them'!"
