Think about it.

There is at least some inherent value in the **** you buy or watch.

Whereas the WP should be honored enough at the prospect of people choosing to "read" whatever "articles" they churn out.

It's a "news" site.

Profit is not something you would expect in that industry.

I was gonna point out that the BBC exists but actually you're right, America has a stupid PoS president roughly half the time so it probably wouldn't work as well if we did it, as with most things.
