I would not mind a bill that required contributions towards long, well researched, investigative pieces. However 99% of "news" articles I see these days are just re-writes of government/corporate press releases without question or "He/She said" pieces. I understand why, we're in an attention economy, and baseless nonsense with shock factor is quicker and more profitable than complex analysis. However encouraging such BS is bad enough, requiring people to fund it is actively harmful.
