It's a double edged sword. Quality information should be accessible to everyone. We ensure that for kids through public school systems, but for adults you need to pay for it yourself. Which is a huge problems since that is the same demographic as "voters".
Libraries?
We're talking about paywalls for news articles. Libraries dont solve this problem.
Can libraries not get subscriptions to news services for public access?
Libraries are physical media. If you get public access to a newspaper, then one person can read it at a time. You also create a barrier for people to have to drive to a library, which might be closed, hope that nobody else checked out the thing, etc.
It's not at all a solution.
