I have found their coverage (of Apple v Samsung) useful. The only other outlet that covered some of the more unusual aspects of the verdict and the post-trial jury interviews (that I saw) was BBC.
I saw the same factual coverage of post-trial jury interviews on, e.g., The Verge, without GrokLaw's implausible legal analysis that this would cause the verdict to be thrown out.
Like Groklaw, they seem to have their own opinions and eschew the bullshit-objective style of modern mainstream news, whereby all claims and opinions are treated as if equally valid.
"Maybe it's time to pay the money and let everyone go back to making cool shit," is how The Verge ends one piece.
It's true that Groklaw's stance has been opinionated, but I don't think that has gotten in the way of reporting this story.
