My point is that they are less likely to report on something the government doesn't want them to.
If they do such a good job, they can survive without government funds.
So we should trust people paid in part by the government to determine what to tell us?The internet is largely a cesspool. The primary thing in our time is not that the information is available, but that we don't have time to sift through everything.
There's a lot of crap on the internet, but it's not hard to find reputable news sites.
