I like to skim article titles & read the most valuable of the articles in my RSS reader(s) on my phone (with Handy News Reader from f-droid.org, once I got used to all the settings to make it work the way I want, or maybe NewsBlur if you don't mind their freemium model, or other apps), or on a PC; from a variety of sources that can change over time (which can include google news on some different topics, or a variety of other sources with different political leanings or more neutral). It is how I read HN, also.
This gives much flexibility and control vs. going to a single web site. I can even read the comics on Sundays.
Here is another perspective on reading a variety of sources (which, ironically, I found via google news): https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/08/kevin-olearys-daily-morning-money-strategy-read-fact-check-news.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/08/kevin-olearys-daily-morning-...
And some prior discussion: https://www.google.com/search?hl=eo&gbv=1&q=replacement+for+google+news+%2Bsite%3Anews.ycombinator.com&oq=&aqs= https://www.google.com/search?hl=eo&gbv=1&q=replacement+for+...
Of course, one has to prioritize use of time and not be unduly distracted by the wide variety of sources that are available. Also deciding carefully whom to trust by identifying humans and observing behavior over time.
