People will pay for it, just not for the reason of news. They pay to have their beliefs reinforced. They pay to look smart. They pay to be able to dish out the proper talking points.

But most of all, they pay because they are afraid. This is their comfort blanket, their therapist's chair.

Wow you are just like the TV doctors offering a diagnosis without even seeing the patient. Many of the pay publishers really don't toe a political line or publish easily discredited information. You don't seem to have much respect for the motives of subscribers. Might comment with your intuitive reasoning as to why individuals cling to obvious discredited MSM outlets. Guess everyone in your world view is driven by anything but an interest in reality or truth. What gets your undivided attention or is everything part of the matrix and only can see beyond the simulation?
