We have something similar in Hungary -- a group of journalists living off donations who produce a few big stories a year. It's not an easy way of making a living.

Well its difficult making money with writing things people don't want to hear.

How many people in the US or Hungary want to read about everything that is wrong in the country? Isn't it much easier to believe that everything is great?

Not exactly. The US media is happy to sell us bad news that reinforces our own sense of moral superiority. What we don't like is non-partisan news that challenges it.
