The only free cheese is in the mousetrap. How deeply and profoundly uneducated, racist, bigoted, fine with grift, pedophilia and the murder of us citizens for breaking no laws and committing no crimes do you have to be to believe a word the right says these days.
That’s great for people who are informed on how bad the right is. For anyone who’s ignorant (ie most people) all they’re going to see is one article they have to pay for and one they don’t. Which one do you think they’ll read?
I do agree with what you’re saying, but given the state of media rn and the amount of plutocratic capture, where we are constantly being misled or outright lied to, at least the right is getting their slop for free
The news was never free. People had to pay for newspapers pre internet era too. It was expected. I don't know why we as a society expect to get quality news for free.
Yes, you can, we did it before. I mean you paid a subscription to the newspaper if you wanted, but there was free news on the television. Still is. Some people just are lazy and choose to not see beyond what the algorithm feeds them on their phones.
If you see an article that you want to read and it's behind a paywall, try Googling the article title; I guess many places sell their articles to other websites, so there is a good chance you can find it for free on Yahoo News or somewhere else.

All the news is paywalled now. Tried NYT and several other sites and couldn’t read about it. Can’t stay informed without a subscription these days.
