ATX, I'm with everyone else saying save your money, but I'll add one angle I didn't notice.
Assuming they knew stuff before it is reported on normal sites or via Twitter (which gets reported here). Does it really matter if you find out a bit earlier than you would have already? What is the hurry these days? Most of the better reporting isn't based off of timeliness, it's based off of accuracy.
...which brings us to the other possible reason for paying for 'premium content' - finding out things you wouldn't know otherwise. Here I agree with everyone else. Any 'insider information' will be leaked and likely reported along with other information that makes depend on your judgement to discern what really happened. Like with the Grier situation. Did we get 'inside information' that Will and Daddy Grier wanted to know Mac's plan for him in the future and when he didn't get it he bolted? ... or did Mac encourage him to leave? That's up to you to figure out and a premium site won't help you there.
Put that money in your savings account and do something meaningful with it. ...like a trip to Prague!
