    Pay for news if you want it to be independent, and not beholden to sponsors.

    I’d go as far as to say that paying for news (if you have the means to do so comfortably), is your duty as a commitment to democracy.

        It’s amazing the number of times on Lemmy that someone will come in with the completely opposite “explanation” for what I was saying. Almost like they have an agenda.

        It’s so weird to turn my statement of “support the news with money” into “the mainstream media can’t be trusted”.

        Maybe it’s only happened twice, but it’s still weird that it’s happened twice.
