I would be prepared to pay per article. I am not eager to subscribe to any particular newspaper. I want to consume media "a la carte", not "all inclusive". Unfortunately, newspapers wants me to susbcribe and here we are.
Do you ask for per-movie pricing from Netflix?

Absolutely this. "I'm looking for unbiased news" is a standard line by people who do not read the news.
I'm sorry if my point wasn't clear, I'm looking for as close to non-biased as possible. As I layed out in my numbered list I'm completely aware that there are no unbiased sources. To claim I don't read the news is just attacking and not really helpful to my legitimate desire to find news sources that aren't just pundits of organized interests.
Or maybe you are saying, you don't want to pay for the news unless it matches your expectations -- but you DO want the rest of us to pay for it so it continues to exist?

So your argument is, since it's not exactly what you want, you aren't going to pay for it.
If you have to resort to putting words in someone's mouth, it's a decent hint that either your position is weak or your understanding of their position is. To answer your question: no, that's not my argument.

Re: Please Pay for Your News
#49I disagree. Don't pay for the news. I might pay for Netflix or HBO. If one is insufficiently entertaining, I won't. It makes sense for Netflix/HBO to compete on producing the most entertaining and addicting product, and I know that's exactly what I'm paying for. If news agencies are funded by having more subscribers, they'll also be incentivized to produce the most entertaining and addictive content. The value of new…

I think paying for news and not reading all of it are orthogonal. If you don't like curation, RSS is still solid.
