There is something weird about Yi applauding the WP slogan "democracy dies in darkness" and then whining he has no more free articles; aka he won't subscribe. 

I don't see it.

... yeah, I'm not sure what the connection is either.

[Eddie Teach]

He's not willing to pay for enlightenment.

Dunno, I'll take a look. I'm grateful for anything. Living on government handouts is the thug lyfe

I won't try and speak for Alfred, but I have some thoughts.

I bought a 12 month subscription to the Washington Post the night Flynn resigned, and it was specifically because of the reporting the Post did related to that.

I don't think TV news has ever done much in regards to investigative reporting and uncovering federal government shenanigans and it is very clear that they will continue on that path.

Print journalism, that dying dinosaur, however has once again been the outlet that has had the balls to do the digging, opining and reporting on the true nonsense that is going on in the current administration.  Whether it is the NYT, the WP or even Teen Vogue (yeah haha stick to shoes) they have been one of the very few to shine a light on what is really going on, and trying to keep the darkness (ignorance) away.

The shitty thing is is that even people who are interested in the journalism these publications are doing are not willing to pony up and pay them to continue their work.

Thus someone who agrees with the idea that "Democracy dies in darkness" but is not willing to step up and contribute to those few who are doing everything they can to fight off that darkness may not be taken very seriously by those that do.

EDIT: Hmm drunker than I thought when I started this.  The main points still stand but I may not have been as eloquent as I thought I might be when I started off.

A reasonable point.

I subscribe to The Economist.
