I won't take too much away from their about page but basically the concept is “Poker news done right.”. No adverts, no sponsorship, no agenda.
They strive to bring you news from the poker world independent of an outside interests, advertisements or other influences. Unfortunately most poker news sites are dependant on advertising revenue which generally comes from online poker sites or other organisations with an interest in what's being reported. This obviously has an impact on the viewpoint of that site and the way the report news. It would be difficult to report on the UB scandal if they were paying the bills that allow you to run your site and pay your staff.
The project is run by Noah Stephens-Davidowitz who is thankfully known by the easier to pronounce NoahSD on 2 + 2 along with a team of writers including Isaac Haxton and Aaron Wilt.
I'll leave it up to you to decide of it's a good idea (finances might be an issue, I have noticed a 'donate' button appear on the site already) but I honestly think it's a fair crack at bringing some objective and unbiased news into the poker world.
The have some great stuff on what's happening over at FTP at the moment and that's exactly the type of thing you'll be able to trust them on. Go check it out.
