Happened across this offer as a banner ad on a WP article I was reading. There is a lesser option without the bonus subscription (and other features) - but it is the same price. Likewise, there is an option to pay AUD99c every 4 weeks - which is more expensive if you want to take the max subscription period. Cancel any time and keep the remaining paid subscription period. If you try to cancel it offers you the same deal for another year. It doesn't do this again if you try to cancel again. I have made a calendar reminder to cancel in 2 years as I suspect the 2nd year subscription will be cancelled if you cancel your subscription before the second year commences.

Also includes a full featured 30 day pass to give away every month.

I'm guessing the URL is correct. I couldn't get back to it as I had already subscribed when I posted this. Please update the URL if it is wrong.

      I don't get why people think primary news reporting should be free. It costs money to hire journalists and send reporters around the world. Paywalls are just a logical response to print revenue drying up. If no one paid for it, we'd just get editorialised news aggregators rehashing a dwindling number of primary sources.

    WTF I care what happened in Washington. This is Australia ffs. WP is a propaganda fakenews anyway that's collapsing now here to swindle Ozzies. News is free online everywhere, the reliable ones are few and far in between.

    • Soave on 07/01/2022 - 04:44
      +2

      How to unpack this?

      Firstly, WaPo has national US coverage and the US is a key strategic and trade partner to Australia.

      Secondly, can you show examples of why you think it’s ‘propaganda fakenews’?

      Thirdly, some online news is free, like some food out the back of Coles is free. How do you determine what a reliable source is? I don’t rely on a single news source but yes I read Wapo among other things. It’s been a paper of record in the US for decades.

      I see a few complaints that ‘it’s owned by Bezos’ (and meanwhile there’s 50 links to Amazon from OzB everyday haha) but being media savvy means you know enough to decide for yourself if bias intrudes into the news coverage. Again, you need a few sources get a handle on that.

      • 1st-Amendment on 07/01/2022 - 10:28

        Secondly, can you show examples of why you think it’s ‘propaganda fakenews’?

        Lol, take a look at the front page today, the entire thing is still Anti-Trump propaganda despite him being out of office for almost an entire year.

        but being media savvy means you know enough to decide for yourself if bias intrudes into the news coverage. Again, you need a few sources get a handle on that.

        Actually my advice is try switching off completely for a month, then come back. With a fresh pair of eyes you will see how truly crazy the corporate media landscape truly is. There is no objectivity anywhere, every outlet is an echo chamber feeding people their own ideology back to them. If you think this only applies to the other side, then you are part of the problem.

          Lol, take a look at the front page today, the entire thing is still Anti-Trump propaganda despite him being out of office for almost an entire year.

          No, it’s reporting on the one year anniversary of the attack on the Capitol, which Trump fomented. Trump refused to concede the election he lost, and to this day talks about running in 2024, with majority support of Republicans.

          It’s silly and irrelevant to say ‘he’s out of office’ as though his situation is normal. And it’s news: a major speech by the sitting POTUS under these circumstances.

          The problem here is not the newspaper.

            You asked for examples then makes excuses when presented with them. You are a perfect example of living in an echo chamber…

            Here is an example for contrast: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10243585/Woke-Washi…

            When it's the other team it's 'hell on the earth', 'the worst thing imaginable', 'literally Hitler'. When it's your team, 'oh it's just a car accident.' or 'mostly peaceful protests' lol.
            The fact you think this is balanced reporting is embarrassing. Had the Waukesha attack been done by a white supremacist rather than black supremacist do you honestly think the reporting would be exactly the same?

            The problem here is not the newspaper.

            Half of it is. The other half is the gullible people who swallow the propaganda. And that applies to Fox News too.
            Turn it all off for a month and see if your opinion changes, only then might you discover how deep you are into the lies.''

              The first problem is you aren’t separating ‘news you don’t like’ from propaganda. You have given an example that shows you have a clue about the distinction.

              The Daily Mail report is weak but it at least notes that Wapo actually follows up and makes corrections as stories evolve. That’s the mark of a news organisation and not a clickbait rag.

              More broadly, the Daily Mail is a reliable source for photos of pop stars in bikinis but that’s it. The Aus version is a silly tabloid for idiots at best. The UK version has a history of appalling right wing diatribes going back to the 30s. Please try harder.

                Because you say so lol…

                I gave two contrasting examples, you give nothing in return except excuses.

                You have given an example that shows you have a clue about the distinction.

                I gave you two examples of WaPo deliberately distorting facts. You simply made excuses without offering any facts.

                The Daily Mail report is weak

                The example is WaPO, not the Daily Mail, I merely linked any article that demonstrated with facts how WaPo deliberately deceives. The fact that you got confused shows you don't really grasp the difference.
                Do you agree that WaPo distorted the reporting of that story to follow a narrative? Or do you believe that 'a crash was caused by an SUV' is the most accurate version of events lol…

                If you follow US news then I'll leave with some more examples with WaPO deliberately deceived in order to portray a narrative rather then the truth:
                Breona Taylor
                Steele Dossier
                Nick Sandmann
                Bubba Wallace
                Jussie Smollett
                Kyle Rittenhouse
                etc etc

                All of these cases went to court where the actual facts were presented and the WaPo narrative was found to be wrong EVERY_SINGLE_TIME.

                You asked for examples, but the cognitive dissonance will kick in now and you'll simply make more excuses why none of it is true.

                  So, again, that’s not propaganda. And I said it’s immaterial that Trump’s been out of office for a year although I see that point being made repeatedly by MAGA apologists. But that’s your prime example for attacking Wapo? 😂

                  Copying and pasting a list of well worn right wing gripes isn’t an argument.

                    Not gripes, actual news stories that the WaPo reporting deceptively. Funny that this is your logic though. You decide your truth based on who says it rather than actual facts presented. No wonder you swallow that rubbish so easily.

                    And I directly responded to your other complaint about the Daily Mail coverage

                    I didn't complain about the Daily Mail, I gave an example where WaPO got a high profile story wrong, because you asked for it. You got tied up shooting the messenger rather than focus on the facts. There is a pattern emerging here…

                    you’ve been briefed by right wing influencers about what to think.

                    Another display of clown logic. You can't argue the subject so you simple make something up.

                      Likewise, I accept that you think Wapo should suppress articles where Trump’s actions are criticised by anyone for any reason, since you believe that constitutes propaganda.

    I'm always really quite appalled at the price local papers ask for reading the local online news, so whenever I get a reasonable subscription offer for a renowned media service I am happy to pay just in principle to support media. I don't buy newspapers, haven't for a long time, so am happy to support online press. Once it is understood we are prepared to pay reasonable fees maybe I can start reading my local paper online again instead of just not getting local news!

    • Soave on 07/01/2022 - 17:42

      It is pretty expensive but it’s a fact that local news gathering costs money, and relatively speaking we’re a small media market. Thinking about the big piles of newspapers at my house growing up, getting at least two papers a day, I can’t quibble with the bill for electronic access to news today with 24/7 story updates, video and interactive multimedia etc etc.
