That doesn't solve the demonetization problem that is facing almost all commercial left-of-center speech in the US. Unless people can make a living at it, there won't be much of it.

The NYT has some very real problems — they are very much in the pocket of the oil industry — but they also have a huge audience and some trustworthy reporters working for them.
