marcusarelus Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Are there any better news sites than Drudge? I'd like a more balanced set of reporting options but Drudge has all the main stories and interesting human interest ones too. I've not been able to find another location. I don't mean one outlet like BBC or CNN but a site which gives a variety of sources like Drudge who has hundreds of outlets listed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgdanson Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Looks OK, but how would you decide which news to read/believe, BBC, CNN, Fox, RT, etc. they're all there. By the time you've read the same story on say 10 channels, it won't be news any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Personally I use a couple of news apps like i.e. The Guardian and customize them. Some allow very detailed settings of what you will see in which order - and what you won't see normally. Because quality of news is very different with different sources I don't use any of those mixed sites where you get news from lots of sources. I see no point about reading unreliable news from unreliable sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusarelus Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 I am used to reading accurate up to date and controversial headlines like Drudge produces daily. He broke the Clinton/Monica story which is what got him on the map. He has a choice of 50+ reputable sources to pull from that guarantees he will always out perform the Guardian or NY Times or WA Post. He gets more traffic than the New York Times. You'd think with all that action someone would want to compete. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you cannot decide between the ones above, best to go with the looney tunes and ditch the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Somebody posted a great list of news sites on the Internet forum a couple of years ago. I just tried to search it but failed...maybe a more skilled digger can find it. I usually start the day with Google News...easy to customize and fairly up to date.

Get a non-cooperating browser to eliminate the tracking and use an ad blocker plugin or get down the nitty gritty and set up an ad blocking VPN for your household or even for your surfing from anywhere. My paranoid sister gave me the name of such a browser but I soon forgot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
