> 1) Most people don't want to pay for news. Even $1/year is too high.

So much of news today is not even worthy of my attention, let alone my money.

Not enough to invest money and time, no. And my preferred party isn't in power, so it's not like knowing the current leadership is corrupt would change my vote - I don't vote for them anyway.
