What does the second bullet-point specify in the guidelines for submissions in this community?
On my screen it says "Mods are encouraging the users to unintentionally undermine journalism as a workable endeavor, when it's already badly struggling in this country." What's yours say?
Mine says "Defining journalism as a strictly capitalist endeavor is self-defeating".
Few people have the money or wherewithal to subscribe to every small town newspaper in the country, much less the world, just so they can read articles you post. And getting bent out of shape at people trying to live their lives as informed as possible without being squeezed dry of every penny they have is ludicrous.
Ha, I'd like to keep arguing but it seems that me and the Beehaw mods / community simply don't see this issue the same way. Is ok.
