Pokernews is FAR better than Cardplayer coverage ever was ...
It is enormously difficult to cover a live event, especially when you are the ugly stepchild pushed around by ESPN.
Pokernews has done pretty well on the interviews I have seen. Thei chip coverage and updates could stand some improvement, however, the playing field within the torunament area is problematic at best.
Overall, I would give them a B grade, with room for improvement. .... To put it into perspective, I would rate ESPN last year at a C +. Last year's Cardplayer coverage rated a C - at best.
However, PokerNews has NOT tried to manufacture news about its owners or screwed around with coverage to get its faces on the news.
