Actual news is going behind paywalls, while damaging nonsense like Breitbart and OAN remain free. This is a serious problem.

My local news website removed their comment section then shortly after went behind a pay wall like who would pay for local news. It is hard to find a decent unbiased news website it seems most people just want their news to confirm their beliefs but me I want the unbiased facts. Journalism is dead I googled one of the writers for my local news site and she had the exact same articles on a different site for a different state along with local interest articles on both sites written within days of each other.

If the content is visible to google, then the paywall can be bypassed.
