The author would've been better served by pointing out the paywalls of research done in universities, funded by people's taxes.
That'd be somewhat close to 'the truth is paywalled'.
Newspapers and truth are a contradiction - truth is boring, newspapers cannot afford to be boring because they compete on entertainment value or illusion of 'being informed', not truth value, therefore every newspaper panders and skews 'the truth' in exchange for entertainment or 'being informed' value, that's their job.
Paywalled or not, newspapers are drug dealers for the junkies addicted to a 'need to be informed'. Twitter is beating them to the punch. On twitter you can be infinitely 'informed' and be an active participant in 'informing' others, which is why journalists and 'intellectuals' can't get enough of it.
