A "FREE PRESS"
CANNOT BE FREE: The moment the news is presented to you as free, you have
already paid the price. At that moment your right to know has taken a back seat
to the interests of whoever, or whatever is sponsoring the presentation. If they
are not paying to inform you, and they're not, what are they paying for? When
the community takes an ownership stake the priorities change. For your
consideration. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
