Reply to comment by mkmck in David Cicilline to resign from Congress to lead Rhode Island Foundation by rhodyjourno

Do you pay for access to articles that will take you 30 seconds to read and never look at again?

If I'm gonna pay for news, it damn well better be something above and beyond what else is out there.

Also, remember where you are. If you're trying to share news and you link to it somewhere that makes people jump through hoops to actually read it, you're kinda the asshole.

Nope...but I don't bitch about it either. Reporters deserve to get paid for their work just like anyone else. If it's not worth it to you, don't click the link, and don't expect to read it. The length of the article is irrelevant. Anybody with one iota of common sense knows a Globe article ain't coming for free.
