Any tips on a readable online news site?

[Shut Up Legs]

I'm fed up with the ones I normally read:

• The main two Melbourne papers are both anti-cyclist (although naturally they'd strenuously deny it), and there's only so much hate I can stomach before it starts getting to me.
  
• The Guardian seems to be run by feminists, and while I support equality of the sexes, this news site seems to have a knack of writing articles that imply I should be ashamed of being male.

So are there any new news*** sites out there worth switching to?

*** Is that a valid expression? It just sounds a bit tautological, for some reason.

Sadly online news is even more biased and opinionated than the "old" print regulars.

The BBC isn't immune, but I use that and apply filters to anything with an opinion in it.

CycleChat of course!

Google News as a starting off point.

not sure if it works on normal PCs but on mobile devices, whether android or fruit-based, I can recommend "flipboard" which is an app which gathers together / aggregates stuff your interested in. Don't bother with cycling as an option, but physics, politcs etc all good.

...sorry OP, can't help. Got several bookmarked, but most now are loaded with 'bait' or 'hook' type stories, hard to see the wheat from the chaff. Suppose if it's for free you can't complain.............but even so..........

Reuters and Al Jazeera aren't bad if all you want is facts.
