I'm always nervous by people saying that news is free. It isn't. It takes time and effort to gather the correct details, verify them, challenge and question people, find out details...
If you don't pay, someone else will. And the agenda of that person/people/company will stilt the news you get to what they believe is the truth or what they want to be the truth ("you provide the pictures, and I'll provide the war"). Without an ecosystem that supports the cost of news, we'll lose multiple views.
Whatever you think of the political colours likely attributable to the Daily, I'd rather have it succeed to show that you can support journalism. Success will (eventually) bring competitors and plurality of views.
