    and DO NOT DEFINITELY pay for journalist’s work, because he certainly do not need to pay taxes, rent and will happily write articles for you free of charge and paywall is just to make you mad

        This is why so many people are misinformed. Good journalism is paywalled while things like Fox News, Newsmax and Sky News aren’t.

        Journalists do need to get paid though, and not everyone is okay with ads. People expect too much for free.

          Journalists should be funded by the public, as they perform a public service, while simultaneously they should not be required to report favorably upon the state. We just fail to do so because it’s more profitable for the old money that own the current media empires (and Larry Ellison), with the added benefit that the general public are treated like mushrooms – feed them shit and keep them in the dark.
