&gt;People don&#x27;t want to pay for quality journalism despite what journalists and media like to tell themselves.<p>I&#x27;m not sure that&#x27;s really true.  We simply have no option.  There is no quality journalism online, there are a bunch of crooked people trying to push different agendas, and an unfortunately large group of people willing to pretend whichever trash rags are pushing the agendas they like are &quot;quality&quot;.
