  • Better Than Nothing But Not By Much

    At its best there is some minimal, basic local news, but these are hobbyists, not journalists, reporting. Don’t expect anything truthful if it is slightly controversial. It’s all glossed over, empty local pablum to keep the local powers-at-be happy even if it is at the expense of the Morongo Basin community.
