Food was incredible

Food was incredible, that's why we went. However, a hidden service charge of £30!!! was added for 9 people. When I got home and examined the reciept, I was annoyed. Myself and my family will not be returning. Found it very sneaky. We had only gone for a 2nd time as the first time we went, there was no service charge.

This is one of the worst news website

This is one of the worst news website. It said, “ Trump backed - Republican won governors race in NJ” as headline notification but when I opened it said otherwise of course. Throwing False information just to get some clicks.

To many sigh ups

I use to love this site they gave you just the facts without a ton of bloat & major bias. But now the want you to sign up for every category of news you want to follow instead of just sighing up to the main account, why I'm not sure but I'm sure it's not in my interest so I'll be getting my news elsewhere. Hope you change your policy.

They love to give their opinion

They love to give their opinion. I'm tired of hearing opinions. They say that opinions are like assholes...everyone has one. I want to hear only the facts so I can use my God-given brain to form my own opinion.

Very disappointed I have been following…

Very disappointed I have been following this “news” source. I will not read another thing posted by them. I can not believe they would report a blatant lie concerning the Gulf of Mexico. The USA has no business change the name. As an American I am embarrassed and saddened to see media bend to the will of a person to be in their good graces. Stand up for what is right. Associated Press is where I will be going to get my news.

Very politically biased

Very politically biased. Political click bait at best. I wonder if these journalist are proud to cash their checks knowing full well they are the exact reason why so many people have a hard time, trusting anything in the news anymore. Believe it or not a lot of us just would like to know the actual facts, and then draw our own conclusions about a situation. Believe it or not.

Almost worthless

Almost worthless. Filled with sponsor advertising which they claim does not impact editorial. Corrupt. Have you ever seen an article critical of Goldman? Also, redundant -instead of reading One Big Thing - Read NYT, CNN or Fox daily emails. They have 2,000 + reporters all over the world. This is garbage. Total waste of time.

Not really news. Not really much at all.

Axios is a “news site” that is primarily an aggregator based on the peculiar views of its very few top founders and editors. The bounce rate is a sky high 74.5%. The Alexa ranking in May, 2020 was 5,724. Not too many readers or followers here. Those that open it quickly decide it is not for them and leave.

Today, for example, after the tear gassing peaceful protesters in front of the White House, Axios ran a story on its cover about the business of tear gas. On this solemn day, business? really? An odd selection indeed.

The editors seem to be in the business of editing to protect their advertisers. Not too many articles criticizing major advertisers such as Morgan Stanley. It is clear these guys are here for a financial score. Not journalism.

The slant is hidden but pretty clear. It bleeds a little red. The only major journalist who breaks stories and has a following seems to be Jonathan Swan, a well known carrier of Trump’s intentional “leaks”. Where are the other major writers?

The world is currently filled with daily news summaries from organizations large and small. With their narrow approach, the site will always be limited, and have a high bounce rate. When you open it who knows what you will get. But their budget might balance. As a reader, you are better off just going to broader news site where you find your stories of interest each day.
