I have started trying to pay more for news access the last couple years. I don't regret that decision. Its less than I pay for streaming television.
I remember getting a lot of push back not too long ago, when I tried telling a group of people that 'good news' is something you have to pay for, because it's difficult to do.
The MSM, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all that crap is simply the most overt propaganda, tailor made for a mass audience, and free, precisely because it isn't valuable. A subscription to something like The Economist, beats anything the average person wants to compare it to. Or those one-man progressive outlets on YouTube, who went to community college and left with a degree, run their gig out of a one bedroom studio, and think they've got the entire world figured out.
