Exactly! Why would any American entity want to do a good deed if their weren’t being monetarily reimbursed for it? Thats unconscionable!!!

The government is that exact entity you are looking for.

There are also plenty of American media sites who do not have paywalls. Many with this exact story. They of course are still compensated via other means, but I wouldn’t label paywalls as an American thing or say America has a paywall problem when it comes to news from public officials.
