The biggest issue is that true information is behind paywalls while the lies are handed out for free.
Americans have an almost Pavlovian response to news at this point, where they fundamentally can not trust a source of information until that source suggests the reader begin taking erection medication.
Yup, no paywalls on right-wing garbage.
Yeah, it's funny how leftists care about societal problems until it fucks with their wallets.
I guess that's one thing the left and right can always unite on: greed.
Capitalists. You're talking about capitalists. Democrats are still capitalists, therefore they are not "leftist." You cannot be a capitalist and a leftist.
Please elaborate
Leftists have been decrying the cost barrier to high quality information preventing people from easily accessing it for ages. SciHub is founded by and run mostly by leftists for example, and leftists tend to be very pro-piracy in general.
