    I haven’t said that journalists have to work for free. Just that we don’t have to be the ones who are trickled out to feed them. I doesn’t have to be “poors vs workers” unlike what the media is telling you, ya know? A better system is possible.

      Huh, I don’t get that argument. To me, it seems that citizens paying journalists is desirable. I’m genuinely curious, who else should pay them in your view?

        It could be the citizens but done indirectly, for example via taxes. Even better, not all citizens: just tax the rich and put the money into a journalism pool, so the rich can’t choose to benefit any particular newspaper or editorial line.
