    Every fucking conservative piece of shit toiletpaper rag is free, but anything to the left of these whether it’s liberal or even socialist is all pay to read.

    Did you consider that it might be because one is actual journalism and thus requires a lot of time and effort to perform, while the other one is petulant, bigoted crying in a way that a high schooler could write with zero or minimal fact-checking in 20 minutes?

      Yes of course. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have access to that information.

      Where I live, (Québec) we have LaPresse, LeDevoir, LaTribune/LeSoleil/LeQuotidien/etc which are an information coop, which are all free but have the option to have a paid subscription or rather to support the paper. There’s also tons of special federal and provincial measures to financially support journalism in Canada.

      But I forget this is the US.

      And, obviously, the parasitic “elites” are now than happy to sink whatever costs are necessary to spread their fear based propaganda.
