It's an obvious false dilemma that quality news and profits cannot coexist. People who want to destroy private industry always make the claim that profit undermines quality, as if consumers don't want quality. That simply isn't true. Before someone comes in and talks about the 'stupid consumer', the trade off between price and quality varies greatly up and down the scale for every product, including news. Your anecdotal experience with some stupid people you know is not evidence that every consumer doesn't know what's best for them or the things they want.
