Internet news really, really sucks

[Berkut]

Can someone recommended a general purpose US news site?

Fox is obviously crap, CNN and MSNBC are both basically clickbait sites now, as far as I can tell.

Really CNN? Some announcer at the Miss Universe pageant screwing up is a more important news story than all the news that did NOT make your front page so you could have space for that drivel?

So what is out there as a general purpose, US centric news site? Does any such thing actually exist at all anymore?

What about the US edition of Reuters, I'm using the site more than the BBC nowadays:

I do like the BBC, but want a US centric site if I can find one.

Heh, for better or worse, I use Languish as my internet news filter.

The Timmay News Corp isn't so bad.


What worries me, mostly as a reader, is that so much is just clickbait.

This goes back to the discussion we were having about news as entertainment.

For a good news site I think you need to look to the newspapers.

I read the New York Times most of the time.  LA Times and Boston Globe tend to be more local, wich is ok when there's news over there.

Yeah, I am the problem with the news in America.

I want good news reporting, but I don't want to pay for it...

Like a wise man said: beat the change you want to see into the world.

So we can blame you for all the click bait.

I just visit Yahoo News and Google News.  Did you know why Hillary took so long on her bathroom break?  I most definitely do.
