4. The fact is you HAVE to have the traditional media for sources for news

Every other "outlet" like blogs and the like just regurgitate what is out there unless the blog is affiliated in some way with traditional media or the blogger is a professional journalist.

Furthermore, blogs and other internet "media" are notoriously unreliable because of no fact-checking in place. Not to say the traditional media doesn't slip up now and then, but blogs don't even have the ability to fact check sources.

People are mad because they thought they'd get their news "free" forever and rejected buying dead tree versions of papers. Well, the traditional media has to have revenue, so this is what happens with paywalls.

I personally prefer buying traditional newspapers and utilizing traditional media. I just find so much internet "media" to be garbage.
