I don't think there's really much free press out there anyway. If they're not beholden to a state actor, then they're mostly beholden to the interests of their media conglomerate and/or their billionaire owners.

Even disregarding the Bezos ownership, wp is not a nonprofit. I dont see how they cant uphold free press without subscriptions, nor why they uphold it more than others.
