I paid for TheGuardian because if we don't support truly independent, objective, investigative journalism, who will?

Certainly not Billionaires buying newspapers (e.g. Washington Post/Bezos, ...).

Like Eric Schmidt, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros and countless other billionaires through their "charities"? https://theguardian.org/

Just because they are liberal and non-profit doesn't mean they are independent, that only appears this way if you only think in the narrow confines of the Overton Window between "conservative" and "liberal" of mainstream discourse.
