I had a similar problem. After I stopped using gmail & google search (for privacy reasons) and started using Duck Duck Go, it almost seemed random in what news it was trying to feed me because it didn't have enough data. I messed with the little sliders, banned fake news sources like HuffPost/WashPost etc, but I couldn't get it to deliver a news feed I actually wanted to consume... so... I just gave up on it.
Finally went back to a combination of InnoReader.com (RSS from sites I know I want) and News360.com (more subject based, varying sources). No need for Google News anymore, particularly after all the news of their censorship and bias has become more and more public.
- specialist 9y agoI do much the same. But I'm still missing local events, news, politics. I haven't figured out how to efficiently get those feeds.
- kbenson 9y ago> banned fake news sources like HuffPost/WashPost etc Is the Washington Post considered fake news by most? Do you have examples of why you think it's fake? I'm curious because I actually pay for WaPo. I occasionally pull up fox news to see another side, but while I do consider WaPo liberal leaning, it seemed at least less biased than some other sources I've seen, and I would rather know the biases I'm consuming.
- mikeyouse 9y agoWaPo isn't biased and it's definitely not "fake news".
- lern_too_spel 9y agoIt has been the newspaper of record for anybody who follows the federal government for a very long time.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoAre you confusing WaPo with The Washington Times?
