@basadeskaiser @EssentialUtinsil @Whitewall_Blasphemy @sickburnbro People don't want to pay for news anymore. They expect it to be free. Except it's not free to produce. Hence your options are ads, subscriptions etc

Although if news is just going to be state propaganda anyway then the state might as well foot the entire bill. What difference does that make if they're never truly being criticized anyway?
