Downloaded for 3 day trial with an open mind . First story I checked about the interest rate rise had a key player as Fed Chair Jerome Powell - that is quite out of date as Kevin Warsh is Fed Chair. That was all I need to cancel and not revisit. Major fact error, out of date on first story I check!Seems against my better judgment I paid for a year, despite my concerns, went in again today and the app match report for Denver v Rams reports, at all points in story, as Denver v Patriots with Matthew Stafford as Pats QB. Seriously looked at less than 8 stories on this “news” app and found two major errors. Lacks credibility with mistakes like that.
