  That website wasn't made by journalists, but by their bosses. If the news is going to be 'for pay' only then effectively being informed equates to being wealthy and the not so wealthy will be preyed on by the 'fake news' department, because to them spreading the news is the business. So there is a very strong case to be made for keeping news free for the masses, even when they run adblockers.
