The truest thing you will read today. [View all]

It bears repeating that shit like OANN, Newsmax, Infowars, hell even Stormfront, NEVER had a paywall. Meanwhile you get 2 free NYT articles per year if you create an account and sign up via email and start your free trial by inputting your credit card information and email activation code and the reason people believe dumb shit and conspiracies is because the dumb shit is free and the truth costs $9.99/mo
