Both organizations bring their own prejudices into their reporting, which is fine so long as it is understood by others that their agenda isn't necessarily the best agenda for the majority of TVers.
Very well articulated. POA is a necessary organization that needs a new editor. VHA is the mouth of the developer, who is a benign dictator.
