Re: To everyone bashing Pokernews
I think Pokernews is doing on the whole, a much, much better job than Cardplayer. However, there were a few parts of the Cardplayer coverage I liked, and hope they try to be able to incorporate next year: linkage to players stats for all players, graph chip count tracking in addition to numerical, and more photos and blogs. I definitely prefer them, and hope they get the next contract, although ideally we would be like all other sports and coverage would not be on an exclusive rights basis.

Re: To everyone bashing Pokernews
Anyone with any professional media experience (print, radio, TV, web) will understand how enormously difficult it must be to cover this event.
Mistakes are absolutely unavoidable in such chaotic conditions, and IMO PN's coverage is at least a B+ from that perspective. The pics issue is odd and does knock them down a bit, but there could be a reasons for this that we are unaware of. Overall, probably as good a job as it's possible to do.
