For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

damn if only we could subsidize journalism instead of oil and meat

We could but that brings its own moral issues. Can you trust a journalist to be truthful and critical of a government that signs their paycheque?

with sufficient legislation, sure. Do you inherently distrust NPR?

Inherently? No. But part of that is due to the fact that there are other organizations with other motives and funding sources to compare with.
