I am subscribed to sfgate, but the app will not allow me to read articles unless I pay a further "friend of the newsroom" fee. Might as well just read on a web browser.

I'm an avid reader of SFGATE even though I live nowhere near San Francisco or California for that matter. I was first attracted to it due to my affection for Drew Magary's column but since then I find myself reading much more. my only complaint was the ads and no way to become a paid subscriber, but recently that has changed. I signed up immediately so now it's all good!
