    Is there any news website that you're willing to pay to visit?

    Nope. Cause if there is anything worth reading someone will post it on a free site. Like this one. Also, if I wanted to pay for the news I would subscribe to a news paper.

    This is where newspapers will have to go, but newsday is not the ones to pioneer it. They will fail.

    I guess James Dolan needs to make up his losses on the Knicks somewhere.

    As soon as they give out govt vouchers for 300 dollars per year I will consider it, until then not in a million fucking years.

    What blows me away is that it's not a good paper, it's fucking Newsday. That's like paying $260 a year for the Lake Oswego Review.

    Newsday.com took a huge drop in site traffic after Drudge dropped it in favor of his buddy Breitbart.
