  With major world leaders regularly decrying the Free press these days it doesn't seem so needless or hyperbolic.

    Even disregarding the Bezos ownership, wp is not a nonprofit. I dont see how they cant uphold free press without subscriptions, nor why they uphold it more than others.

    I don't think there's really much free press out there anyway. If they're not beholden to a state actor, then they're mostly beholden to the interests of their media conglomerate and/or their billionaire owners. Ed. I want to emphasise that this doesn't necessarily imply bad journalism overall.
