News websites wanting to charge you money in order to read their articles. ๐ต
IT'S A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT FOR F*CKS SAKE!!
Edit: I've seen some people have commented about other stuff that really grinds their gears. Just wanted to say, go ahead and take it out. ๐
You want free news? You get ai generated articles which cover the basics... hopefully.
You want good news? You have to pay.
Or you could go to npr and pbs. Public, free journalism
Yes, my country also has decent public journalism channels
Then your first comment about free news just being ai garbage meant nothing?
It is a dramatization, call it artist freedom. Things are never entirely black and white in real life. In real life everything is a grey area, but it's no fun to make elaborate and nuanced statements on an internet forum where short form is the leading narative. Most people won't even read a comment or a post that has more than three sentences. Also, you shouldn't take a short message like this as fact. I, for instance, always assume short comments are written on the toilet. That'll put things in perspective a bit. Only once someone takes the effort to make a proper write up with actual sources included, where you can see there's an actually effort made, than you can start thinking about truths and facts. Otherwise it's just fun or an opinion at best.
I call it bullshit then. You put an opinion out there that you dont believe and you know isn't true "because it's fun", and you'd rather get attention than be real.
Yes it is that black and white. You are right and I am wrong. Congratulations!
Your wording reminds me of this scene ๐
So... Which news website has good news again?
I'd say, a combination of publicly funded news sources, like bbc, pbs and reuters. Which are free sources, so that kindof disproves my point, but these do mostly cover the basics. Local news or news about stuff you're interested in, is usually not covered there.
