For staying informed, maaaan...
I used the search function here, and there were kinda similar questions posed in the past, but in this case I am not asking for what people think is the most unbiased online newssource, but am more just curious as to where people like to go to see what's going on. In the world. News-wise.
(Question prompted by randomly running across an article posted on Time ("The Weekly News Magazine"'s) website, and then perusing a few of their "most popular" stories, and subsequently realizing that I am pretty ignorant of so many big topics of the day...which is likely due in large part to the fact that these days I rarely watch tv news, or buy print newspapers or magazines, or listen to the radio)

Erm, also, I hope the last bit there is not interpreted as weird smugness or something on my part. It's just that tv news irritates me in any but the smallest of doses; and I feel too poor lately to justify buying magazines or newspapers; and, uh, well, radio, in general irritates me, too. I mean, I'm allergic to NPR, for example... even though they have lots of interesting stuff on there, particularly the Teri Gross interviews, somehow I just can't bear to listen for very long.

What do you expect from a country where you don’t have to work for anything and you are “entitled” to everything? What’s the benefit of learning and working for a better future when the government will just take it all away with high taxes?

I... how am I supposed to read this?

Three different stories appearing at once. I thought I was reading about James Brady until a photograph of a woman throwing a container of ice water appeared and then a link about Ebola. And all this time, I thought Brady had been shot.

Now that we're all shut-ins going mad through media conception, what's the best option(s) for paid news?NYT at $4 a month?WaPo at $29 a year?Apple News at $10 a month? Looking for opinions and more options.

I subscribe to two paid news sources, but they’re both French so likely not of broad interest here

i use the noscript add-on with firefox and can access nyt and wapo. i'm guessing other javascript blockers would work as well.
