When I think about it, I'd probably pay for a news source that aimed at giving factual, unbiased reporting (no I don't mean "equal coverage") and which deliberately dropped all deference or special respect for the ruling class. Especially if there were no "sacred cows" in general, genocide gets called genocide, none of this passive voice for police ("a man was shot during a police stop"), etc.
I'd put $20/month toward that.
https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/ is posted for free and I like the way he approaches the news. I don't use it as my only news source but I generally see a pretty solid summary of the big things there. Also every story will usually be backed up with a half dozen source links.
