Government agencies subscribe to it the same way investment banks subscribe to a Bloomberg terminal - it helps them do their job. Also - it's literally the job of government to understand and respond to what is happening in the world and what the public is saying. Of course they are going to buy a fucking newspaper subscription to do that job. I'm sure every single Republican congressman is paying for some media subscriptions. You're falling for totally disingenuous propaganda.
