It's also important to gain another perspective when so much of the MSM comes from a single viewpoint. I consciously try to read the opinion pieces from other points of view to maintain balance.<br /><br />The FR behind fire walls is a big loss. I do try to buy the paper at least once a week, generally more, because I need their stories.

It says to me that the ad revenue is not enough in which case they are in trouble! As pretty much a Canberra lad, I read the Canberra Times daily and have even clicked through on some ads with amusing results. <br /><br />Wherever I go there's an ad for a particular wallet which promises to be skinnier. I did have a genuine interest, but it looks like an empty promise. I clicked on a couple of Shorten links in Facebook, which had the result of ALP banner ads showing up whenever I read your site, Jim! And I can't for the life of me figure out why the Canberra Times assumes that I have a passionate interest in earth moving equipment and industrial machinery. :)<br /><br />Losing access to the Oz lost me access to some pretty objectionable opinion writers (i.e. no loss) but losing access to the Fin was a blow. i imagine it's a legitimate work expense or at least tax deduction for many and so can afford the model.2 tannersnoreply@blogger.com
