Cable Forum - View Single Post - The Sun and The Telegraph go behind Paywalls

Most news sites are bias in some way so you have to read multiple sites to get a more balanced view of a particular story. By going behind a paywall some of the media outlets will loose some of their influence, so I am sure they did not choose this option lightly.

RSS readers aggregate from multiple sources so you can get plenty of news, views and whatever all in one place without paying. Even without those kind of features, most will not pay when another place offers it for free. Murdoch is trying to get as many news outlets to do the same so eventually there will be less options but there will always be alternatives.

In the short term I am sure many will just use the BBC site.
