I would like to believe so too, but if you look at what these subscription based media are writing you'll soon realize they are not free from this either. Subscription based sites are afraid that they will lose their existing use base if they talk about something their users won't like that they tilt towards writing about what their users want to hear. For example, everyone knows that most mainstream media sites tilt heavily towards left to the point where it's not objective anymore and closer to propaganda. The problem is much deeper than you think. It's not just about ad vs subscription. It's the fact that you can't make enough money with media nowadays regardless of whether it's ad or subscription. Because they don't make enough money but they want to, they end up making bad decisions to extract as much of their reader's attention out to money as possible.
