Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I don't thing the likes of wsj, nyt or similar are "random newspapers", and they still get hate for asking for money. Bezos finds that useful.

The NYT is what billionaires want to tell me, and if they expect me to pay for the privilege they're out of their minds. Oughta be paying me to read that trash.

If you were talking about actually independent sources providing other perspectives then you might have a point.

I'm talking about all sources, the average lemmy user doesn't distinguish nuance, they complain about all paywalls. And billionaires take advantage of that and obviously buy the papers with the widest reach first, but with time they'll reach everywhere.
