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
