Ask HN: What site you go to for us/world news?
I am new to US so have CNN bookmarked but find it somewhat populist. Anything similar to havker news but for all other news?
That excludes: NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, Fox, CNN. None of those consistently avoid pushing an agenda. If you utilize any of them, you have to mentally filter out their heavy propaganda, which is aggressively interlaced with actual news.
I like Reuters (https://www.reuters.com), they overwhelmingly do just straight to the point news reporting instead of cultivating stories to sell to a biased audience. And they offer comprehensive global news coverage.
APNews (https://www.apnews.com) is another decent option. They're more heavy on factual reporting, less on opinion and propaganda. There is still some overt bias you have to filter out with them.
The BBC (http://www.bbc.com) will get you some decent US + global news. They do a better job at factual reporting on US news than The Guardian and other European sources.
Example of their home page news that are completely irrelevant (to me):
- Gates admits crimes with _ and embezzlement from _ Manafort
- Serena Williams says struggling with 'postpartum emotions'
- Pink in Sydney hospital with stomach virus, cancels 3rd show
I guess I am looking for an aggregator like Zite used to be where you could teach it your interests. Apple news is good but you can not customize it well enough so it keeps pushing new and unwanted stuff to you (not to mention ads).
It's simple to read, and provide links to wherever necessary. No ads, just clean text.
Usually has the news that matters to me on it, also more international.
My suggestion is to get an app that lets you filter out certain topics, and then pull in news from a variety of outlets.
