but news articles are mostly written by people from wealth now, because who can live on a journalist wage these days

That's a bold claim; I don't disagree that journalists are generally underpaid, but none of the journalists I personally know are particularly wealthy afaik. (Obviously this is my anecdotal experience)

Although furthermore, journalists don't have to be wealthy to be pressured into writing in support for the wealthy. This is a systemic part of how major news companies are run to satisfy their ultrawealthy major stakeholders (see my other comment: TL;DR ~97% of news readership funnels up to News Corp, Nine or Seven). Someone trying to write articles against the interests of the company owners won't last long.

General reminder to the people reading this article: whether they understand or not, someone with a net worth of 10 million is a hundred times closer to a houso than they are to a billionaire.
