    Ever notice how right-wing news is free but actual news you have to pay for.

      I dunno - isn’t it the right always complaining about mainstream news that is often as supported & rarely keep hosts that the main stream audience or advertisers get upset over & are willing to give quality news for free in exchange, think NPR, PBS & even CNN during trump before it went to pot & they tried their CNN+ bs.

      Oddly I think CNN did well or better BEFORE they got greedy & attempted a Fox News by trying to overly pay wall their news.

      It’s usually the right wing that tries to overcharge for their horrible infotainment. And it’s mostly the extreme right that does a mixture of pay for & free. Imo it’s the
      Middle & left (that’s often still middle in context globally, that offers quality news at reasonable rates or for free as it’s more of an ethical service to them than a money grab. Not saying there isn’t or can’t be greedy left leaning orgs, CNN today imo, but they’re less common & less popular. They don’t reach Fox News or Newsmax level insanity imo.
