They get funding, that much is obvious. It was the same story with the Nazis who got massive support from obvious sources.

    Yep. "influencers" make their content free. Big newspapers with national reach just refuse to be read online, they want subscriptions.

    There's some good community papers but they don't get much reach because the Internet doesn't necessarily show you local stuff
