Reddit: Maine’s newspapers are doing the right thing.
Also reddit: I don’t want to pay to read any articles or support journalism so can someone please help me bypass a paywall.

HA! I thought the same thing. "Look at this terrific example of morality by these wonderful newspapers! BRAVO!"
(2 secs later...)
"Hey, can someone help me cheat and see this for free, even though these wonderful newspapers are dying? I can't subscribe for $0.20/day."

Newspapers are dying because they adhere to a single perspective. Before you jump up and down and scream something about me being a “Fawx News” acolyte, let me tell you that all I want is non-agenda-driven reporting. I want the truth. And I want to be able to make my own decisions on how that truth affects me and my family. Local news outlets could rebound incredibly easily - perhaps not as print media, but certainly as localized online sources of daily information, if only they would report factually and without horrifically lopsided political perspectives. Advertisers are very simple to figure out; they go where the eyeballs are. And eyeballs leave when they are able to, in every instance, know what will be covered and how it will be covered.

I don't care if newspapers die.
I was poking fun at the hypocrisy of many people who, in one instance, applaud a newspaper for doing the "right thing" and cheering them on. But on the other hand, won't do anything to support those papers and reward them for upholding what is right.
Factual reporting is over on a macro level.

Easy to do. Works about 90% of the time. Copy the URL and go to print friendly.com and paste it in the box. It will bring up the article you normally need a subscription to see.

Every time you do that, another newspaper reporter dies inside.

Why would anyone downvote this tip? 🤷🏼♀️

The sooner newspapers die and what you consider to be “journalists” are all out of work then we can sooner get back to being a proper country. These same “journalists” lied to you about Covid for three years. Trump (who I did not vote for) was right when he said the press is the enemy of the people. The journalists you pretend to celebrate are in the tank for Pfizer and have nothing but disdain for you.

where should i get my information from, NewsMaXXX?
Sourdieselmang t1_jacx6vt wrote
If you get ANY news from a cable station, be it left or right, you are thoroughly propagandized and ngmi
bent_peepee t1_jaczr76 wrote
- dont know what ngmi is
- so no cable or newspapers, i'm assuming you suggest i trust strangers on the internet for news?
Sourdieselmang t1_jad0c9g wrote
Since you don’t have the capacity to google “ngmi” I don’t have any hope that you’re gmi anyway. You are genuinely low IQ. But there are plenty of trustworthy journalists out there, they just don’t work for newspapers or cable, who are beholden to their corporate advertisers and are incentivized to lie to you.
Turn off your TV.
