I would suggest that it's not my, nor his, issue if the news gatherers can't figure out a successful business model. Fresh information DOES have value.

Exactly!! The issue about why anyone would pay for something that others are giving away free is a smokescreen for the larger issue of why others can give their service away for free. And the reason is that they have lost the confidence of the great middle of the country. If they were reasonably 'fair and balanced' in providing fresh information, people would be willing to pay. But why should we pay for someone else to express their opinion? We can do that ourselves . . . for free.

I was just thinking this morning that I would LOVE to be able to get the newspaper again. I used to love to sit and read it over breakfast, or sit on the couch in the evening and relax and read it. Having said that, I'll be damned if I'm ever going to give a dime to any lying, filthy Marxist news organization so that they can destroy America.

So, I've adopted their ideology - private property is morally wrong, even intellectual property. Oddly enough, though, Marxist news organizations(and musicians, I notice) don't care much for it when you redirect their ideology against them.
