    Question Which news seach site do you use ?

    I was already sick of Google News, with its totally biased search engine algorithms:
    anti trump, anti Brexit, pro faggot, pro man made global warming, pro immigrant etc.

    Now they have made it look like a giant mobile phone screen.
    There's massive gaps - empty space everywhere - meaning less content per page.
    Being bullies there's no option to revert to classic views.
    Even the weather icon line has disappeared


    Yahoo News looks trivial with lots of lightweight click bait type stories.
    What else is there?

    None, regularly.

    I focus on a topic / issue - and then read many viewpoints.

    You won't anything Mr blue, as most of the press is dominated by deplorables:

    You should see what it's like inside a newsroom... more blatant than you could take.

    News is shite. Put some music on - anything from Radio 3 to youtube vids of dirty hip hop and electronica.

It's full of dedicated people who do everything they can to make sure that what they report is accurate. Quite a few of them risk their lives on a daily basis to bring factual news to a bunch of semi-educated cheeto-munching couch potatoes who don't care about anything other than where their next calorie-bomb is coming from. A bunch of fat pizza-munching fucks who couldn't tell the difference between Syria and their sofa other than the fact that their sofa has been the siteof far more stomach-churning atrocities than Syria ever has. Most people who complain the news is biased have absolutely no idea what a professional news organisation goes through to bring news to consumers nor have they any idea of just how much fact-checking goes on and what legal oversight genuine news organisations have to deal with. Opinion and interpretation is a completely different area but very few mainstream news sources would ever dream of falsifying news.

    blue it dont matter wot news u read, u have to read between the lines if u want a balanced view, u have to remember who pulls the strings on world wide media.
    if u think u live in a democracy, why read the puppeteers mind controls anyway.

    Globalresearch is an "anti-Western" website that can't distinguish between serious analysis and discreditable junk — and so publishes both. It's basically the moonbat equivalent to Infowars or WND.

    555... yup, doesn't pay enough though so he still does the occasional paramilitary kneecapping on the side

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"
