For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not sure how to make it work. Journalists need to make a living, but if it's distributed free, where's that money going to come from?

damn if only we could subsidize journalism instead of oil and meat

oh well i guess

We could but that brings its own moral issues. Can you trust a journalist to be truthful and critical of a government that signs their paycheque?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

with sufficient legislation, sure. Do you inherently distrust NPR?

[–] IrateAnteater 5 points 9 months ago

Inherently? No. But part of that is due to the fact that there are other organizations with other motives and funding sources to compare with.
