    Haha,curious what parts made you keep returning to wsj. I don't solidly subscribe anything but the economist.

    Strong news and articles excluding the opinion section. Economist weekly format isn’t my thing.

    I've gotten to the point where Reason.com is the only source I trust to tell the whole story. Openly biased, but the fact that they state their priors upfront allows me to triangulate.

    Reason I have too much of a pro-bias for for easy to understand reasons...even if they have their own biases. WSJ News side of things is excellent but the Opinion section is well....you know the rest.

    Love WSJ, excepting the opinion pieces. The $4 digital subscription totally worth it for the quality and breadth of their reporting.

    I almost agree with everything with Reason since we are the target audience. I have too much of a pro-bias for Reason since I barely see anything that I disagree with.

    It's real news. Only thing I dislike is how they've laid out the opinion pieces closer to the real news. Sometimes I read the opinion piece without realizing it and then suddenly go WTF.

    For me @purr1n the Opinion writing is super different IMO from the News side...so it is easy to spot. If others want to take advantage of WSJ you can sign up for $4/month for the first 12 months then pay $38.99 per month. You can cancel before it hits and resume the sub in a short while later with the same offer...rise and repeat. But I'm getting sick of that so I'm not doing that going forward.

    I got my sub from one of those shady sub resellers. It's been working fine for a while now.

    If you enjoy Reason.com, you will probably enjoy FEE.org as well. Two of my favorites.

    As for news publications worth giving money to, ProPublica is the only one I feel is worth it these days. True investigative reporting. No specific ideological bias. Committed to exposing abuses of power. Tons of industry awards. Most of the best articles I've read in in the last five years have been from ProPublica.
