Yes, its pretty bland. My main gripe is that there is no depth of
information to speak of, except maybe the PBS news but those are also
not always so non-partisan in my view. I like the BBC World Service.
Moscow? Nah, at least that used to be all propaganda which I couldn't
stand. I did enjoy the concerts from there though, especially the large
choirs they have.

I am not an expert at all on NNTP but, for example, the Cadsoft groups
are not available through regular subscription via my ISP. They are
hosted on the company server and are moderated from there. They don't
censor it as far as I can see but a few of their engineers participate
and answer questions which is really nice. But the best is that it can
be accessed through a regular newsreader. It only shows up under a
separate news server name.
