Internet news really, really sucks

WSJ and the Washington Post. Subscription based, of course.

I read the Guardian online often, though mainly because of their soccer site.

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

BBC is pretty crap, actually - full of lots of editorializing and bogus reporting.  It used to be good, but has become another British news source.  The Economist has a pretty good US section, but it's not "breaking news" oriented and its US section is pretty small.

listen to FunkMonk.  He is wise.

I actually have a dead-tree subscription to the Economist ... but I rarely look at their online site.

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

This.

Languish is pretty good for breaking news, but that begs the question of where Languishites who post breaking news are getting their stories from.

I imagine it's any one of the crap news sites Throbby mentioned.

I just broke wind.

[Eddie Teach]

That's not news.

Often Reuters for me, from their website.

I've AFP in my twitter feed, so see a lot of breaking new via that agency and medium. Also they seem faster on breaking news than AP et al.

That's not news.

Indeed, it's weather.  But lacks having some HOTT babe pointing at his ass.

[Savonarola]

For US-centric sites NPR and Bloomberg are both decent; or at least better than CNN/FOXNEWS/MSNBC.  Al Jazeera's US edition is worthwhile, but its editorial board is a little biased...

I just tend to use aggregators. Newsmap is still out there and like all the others you can choose which categories you see and don't see (locations too).

It also allows you to easily see which stories "everyone" is writing about, along with those they don't care to write about. So for example, Trump said something stupid about Hillary Clinton and her stupid bathroom break and it's huge "news" with 3059 related articles.  Then at the other end of the spectrum, a woman was dragged out of the hospital by the cops after she refused to leave, collapsed, and then later died. No one cares.  54 articles.  There is also a single article noting that the governor of Montana is doing a thing that will allow bison to roam outside of Yellowstone: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2015/1222/Montana-governor-allows-bison-to-roam-outside-Yellowstone

News should be free.

News should be free.   

Someone somewhere has to get paid somehow, otherwise we end up with just bloggers.
