I guess I'll come to the rescue of that strawman you're torching... Scientists are free to work for money or passion, as people are free to fund research or not. Whatever the balance of pay vs passion, science will continue to happen.
- actuallyalys 9y agoI might have been too hasty. The first couple times I read it, I thought your original comment was saying that paying for news wasn't worth it because journalists who are willing to work for free are less biased. Rereading it, it sounds like your point was more along the lines of paying for news in of itself doesn't lead to less biased coverage.
