OT: Which news source(s) do you prefer?

[keith smith]

Google has started to tailor what you get based on what they know about you, which is far more than you might expect.  To me this is a problem.  It is akin to telling me what I want to hear, not what I need to know or the truth, if there really is something called the truth.

I scan news.google.com headlines once a day and dive into things that look interesting.  I have purposefully not customized the feeds there so that I get as general a view as possible, though Google does some feed tweaks automatically based on what it knows about me.

The rest of my news comes from people I follow on Twitter, Google+ and others.  I curate who I follow in social media and relevant news just comes to me, and mostly with better quality than if I go out and hunt for things.

Which news sources (print and/or internet) do y'all prefer?



I'm fed up with *all* media sources ... with all of the bias (both ways),

spin, distortion, inflammation, exaggeration, ambulance chasing

sensationalizing, and overdone visual graphics.



Haven't subscribed to any print media for more than 20 years, but used to

scan the USA Today headlines online; however, since they just changed

their format to force an excessive (imh) clutter of graphics on us, it is

no longer a viable option for me.



Are there any online news headline sources that are not radical, liberal,

left-wing, extremist, fanatic, spinmeisters? ... or (almost as bad)

extreme right-wingers?



I've tried all those listed at this link and found nothing that seems

reasonably "fair and balanced" ... and most of all *efficient* without

excessive clutter.

So what would y'all recommend?
