If a liberal rich person wanted to recreate the messaging success of the right AND save journalism, they'd buy some papers and lose money on them at the rate the Falun Gong loses money on the Epoch Times, instead of introducing new Business Models and giving up after a year
they'd buy papers in bad straits and invest in them, send free print copies to every household in key regions, and also open the money hose for heavily promoted digital content. how the right does this is not a trade secret, they just consider it a different kind of investment
the thing is, rich donors don't want to do this! or else they'd be doing it!
this is happening across the country and I promise you no one is asking these papers to come up with a model to eventually pay for themselves (they are profitable by other means)

there's a reason why Murdoch retained control of the (eternally money-losing) New York Post while jettisoning the arm of his company that made fuckin X-Men movies
