I normally don’t support bypassing paywalls for newspapers.

Quality journalism has a price. We should all support it. I lived in a country where all great newspapers collapsed, because no one wanted to subscribe (cultural reason). Only clickbait trash survived. I can assure you it’s really not a nice country.

However, I’ll make an exception for The Times, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

The same Rupert Murdoch who owns The Sun, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and many other media organizations. He also owned News of the World, a newspaper which illegally hacked crime victims and broke into the homes of UK politicians.

Fuck Rupert Murdoch.
