No doubt their focus tilts towards what may be of interest to clients willing to pay the subscription fee, and I stopped reading their reports when they started buying into and using the language of the bogus GWOT narrative. If you expose their bias and provide counter-analyses, more power to you.

But what's the point in publishing the client list, which is the only "news" I can detect here? Why would anybody be surprised that large companies, media, universities are interested in a newsletter providing daily reports on the situation in foreign countries? The whole thing seems like a useless prank, made worse by the fraudulent credit card transactions. What a stupid waste of time.
