I want to subscribe to a reputable news source (even if I have to pay). I want a news source that has not abandoned journalistic integrity.
I'll still keep my current sources of news (Yahoo!, Google news, NPR, BBC, etc.) but I am now -- out of principle if for no other reason -- feeling like I should better financially support at least one legitimate news organization.

For a couple decades now I've always been saying that Rupert Murdock is and was the biggest a--hole/ass-clown alive in the world today. But now with the fake-news websites that have been popping up all over the place he's been relegated to being almost commonplace.

- Giving NPR a bigger donation
- Subscribing to Washington Post
- Subscribing to New York Times
