    I don't know, maybe we've had it too good for too long.

    I have no problem chipping in and supporting wikipedia or PBS or local jazz stations when they hold fundathons to keep them afloat. i have no problem buying magazine subscriptions or paying monthly for netflix, but it just rubs me the wrong way when it comes to news. It should be for the masses and easily accessible and free.

    • alot of it is. the question is, are you willing to support newspapers that invest in great local journalism.prophetone
    • if you are not, then you still get free news... it's just chicken mcnugget quality and will slant toward gossip bs on repeat.prophetone
    • as you said before, CBC, BBC and others are hardly chicken nuggets or gossip rags._niko
    • news isn't objective, it's subjective, so you should pay for it. interpreting and presenting news should never be a free servicedoesnotexist
    • be freedoesnotexist
