I have paid for news, even going so far as to buy a printed newspaper, but frankly most of it is worthless: crime reports that doesn't matter, a bunch of opinions by people, etc.

Online most are just reprinting Reuters.

I would pay for insight that I can use and exclusive (relevant) news, sadly investigative journalism is too expensive.

Have you tried pay for business intelligence reports? Those are still "news" and they have a strong financial incentive to tell the truth

What news source are you referring to? That doesn't describe most publications, online or offline, such as the NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, or the Washington Monthly, where the OP article is published. It doesn't describe many local publications I know of.

Certainly there are some publications that fit the description, but we have many, many alternatives.
