These sites in particular are not fully paywalled - search for the title and click through from google for wsj, and nytimes gives you 10 articles free per month (which resets if you use an incognito window). Whether this is the "right" thing to do is another question. I do really wish there were more micro-payment enabled articles since I primarily get my news from twitter/fb links or aggregators like HN, and I can't reasonably subscribe to every news source that might ever have an interesting story posted to HN.
