Are there any good sources of daily curated news? I'd like to read a condensed version of important news without all the emotional manipulation. I would pay money for that.

I find The Economist's weekly brief super useful (the author talks about this as well). Aside from that I find Reuters' coverage pretty unbiased and objective, though I don't think 'curated' would be the right term to use in Reuters' case.

    Yes, the briefing is different from what I'm referring to. There are two separate sections, "Politics this week" [1] and "Business this week." [0] Just be aware that it's updated only once per week, and you may thus miss out on any fast moving stories.

In my experience as a former news junkie, it is very unlikely a "good enough" source exists. Spend enough time following and understanding the news (in detail - hours per week), and then when you look at curated news, you'll see all the flaws in them. You'll see their bias in their curation. You'll read a piece from it and, because of your experience, will have many questions pop up in your head, which will tell you that the piece is missing crucial information. Etc.

I listen to The Daily podcast from NYTimes. It's a deeper dive to the most important story in the past day and then a very quick summary of other notable events. (I'm also guilty of reading way too much news online in addition)
