- buboard 7y agoEven 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.

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.
