    I really think this is all the result of putting news behind a paywall, while lies and propaganda are widely and freely disseminated.

    We’re fucked.

      It’s absurd, because getting around paywalls is CRAZY easy, but it’s also shockingly common for people to have no idea how to do it.

          I’m not saying that hard paywalls don’t exist. I’m saying that in in the vast majority of cases of written news media, you can get around the paywall.
