Good Independent journalism requires money. You can’t have everything for free you know. If you want to keep your privacy then you should pay for the news sources that you read.

Edit: I’m not american I do not know if USA today is good journalism or not. I am speaking more generally

If you’re trying to get paid based one someone’s views or clicks, it’s not free.

Ah yes, just like how free speech means corporations must be allowed to bribe politicians.
