"I don't like paying for news?"

Why not? It's the fruit of someone else's labor.

Why? There are too many free sites to get news from. I read newspapers in Europe for free everyday. Much better than anything in this country that want to charge you for.

Who can afford to pay for all of those? Even with free trials each month.

Like I said-I am cheap.

You are cheap and spoiled. I am, too, as are most of us. But really, it makes sense that they have to charge. They have to pay for reporters and journalists and editors (and good reporters and journalists and editors cost money), even if not for paper and ink and delivery boys.

Start Croyle, do you only read old copies of the KC Star? I might have some bad news for you about Brodie . . .

I pay for the WSJ. I value the journalism. Of course, I'm intelligent and care for original content.

TL;DR: I do.

The bigger question is who pays for newspapers at all...

Sorry, Dave. I am a dumbass.

Nothing says "I'm intelligent" like saying "I'm intelligent".

There are too many sources for free news, even local news, that I wonder what the point is. They probably shouldn't be charging as much as if they were actually delivering to you, but companies can't take a decrease in revenue.
