That's a lag time of 27 minutes.
You won't see that in Referee magazine for two months. Bottom line: They simply can't compete with us when it comes to immediacy of news and information.
BTW: Both members and non-members may click on the title to read the free article.

Immediacy?
These changes were available and, indeed, were distributed to many individuals two weeks ago. Granted, that was prior to the issuance of a formal release, but never-the-less, a good journalistic organization would have had that "scoop" then.
Since then, these changes have been discussed and debated on various sites and within certain lists. They are now old news whether printed on pulp or in html.

Mr. Benham: You're the kind of guy whose "good journalism" would have listened to unofficial chatter and announced that "Gephardt is Kerry's Veep."
As for me, I'll wait until I see it writing. That's "better" journalism.
Have a nice day!
BTW: It will still be two months before the "other guys" cover this. And they weren't part of the unofficial chatter either. Yet I'll bet a dollar to a penny you didn't write them a note complaining about their lack of "up and at 'em."
