    They started reporting badly in the 90s (Fox News), if not decades or centuries before that. It is on the consumers to consume better media. The companies that failed won’t fix themselves, ever.

        There already is a ton of great media out there, but many people are not looking for it. If you’re trapped by the US news cycle, start reading international news. It doesn’t solve all the problems but it solves many of them.

        And more to the point, consumers have been willing to pay for subscriptions to newspapers for decades, and they’ve gotten burned by it. You’re saying that money is the answer, but it didn’t work before. It’s not working now.
