Yahoo leans to the left but do offer stories from all sides it appears. HuffPost gets top billing for some reason.
And I don't think they care much what we like or don't like.
Yahoo seems to be the starting page of many. It's got a mix of stories, covers all topics in addition to just politics, great sports section, email if you like & much more. I don't think they're the best, but the design and overall coverage is better than most.
Yup, quick and easy, covers everything as I said, no registering if you don't want to. Tons of better sites out there but as an overall homepage, yahoo still wins out. I always peek around for better but always end up back there even though I don't care for them much.
That's what I've said a million times - the meat, the evidence, the sources, that's what matters to me when I read articles. I couldn't care less about the link or writer so long as the truth, fact and evidence are in there. I also agree about their POV, their rhetoric used to sometimes tell the news. I can read through that from either side.
Agreed again. I was once going to start an RSS news forum on here. Which would pick up places and articles of our pre-choosing. We can choose as many sites as we would want to add to list, then add in tons of topics or names and some other criteria, and just let it ride and give us the news from around the world. Problem is, sometimes whether assigned to an individual, or just a generic RSS name to 'own' the posts made from it - they can add up. And then you go from a board with a real say 400k posts, and it will have 2 million + posts as a result, and others will see that as just fluffing the numbers. Plus, I noted on other boards I visit that quite often these posts went ignored, as people spent more time replying to individuals than generic articles.
But, for an individual - I would highly recommend "Protopage". You can easily design your own page, and add in your own feeds. Here is one I made a long time back and then I haven't even been there in like a year, but it keeps chugging along. And hell, you could technically use it as your home page delivering all you want. This covers politics, world news, sports, finance, technology...

The 3 I put in bold I also visit from time to time. A few others I know of but not bookmarked, and others I can tell by names.... I can see a pattern, of someone out there, not very trusting of the media and politicians, searching for alternative answers and news. I'm gonna bookmark a bunch and check them out. I gotta say, the past 12 years or so have been quite eye opening for me. In that time, many of my sources have changed, and my verification process changed, my naivety changed, my trust and faith in long standing institutions has soured. So I have found myself also now searching harder and longer, going out of the country often, or to alternative news sites at times to see if I can find more news or truth. And some things I may have formerly saw as 'controversial' as you say, I may find myself looking and reading there for what I can more and more. Like Infowars for example. Ok, still a little cuckoo and not very much my cup of tea - but if cuckoo man works harder than others to get certain scoops, and they have proof/evidence and the facts for me, things being censored elsewhere - then I am willing to hear them out and take it from there.
