Worthwhile news sites?

[Shut Up Legs]

Feel free to retort "oxymoron!".

I'm a bit fed up with The Guardian lately. which has been my preferred news site for a while now, because the site itself behaves like a malware site, doing its best to popup random annoying ads, and having barely-restrained use of animations that distract from the reading. I was hoping there was something better out there (in fact, a bit like The Guardian in its early days).

I know what you mean, I think it's part of their plot to extract cash out of us by getting us to 'Subscribe Now'

Expecting financial reward for providing a news service, it's outrageous.

I don't read newspapers as I don't trust them.

The BBC new website inquire smooth and benign. The down side is that the content lacks depth, and you just know most of the journos wore Che Guevara T shirts when they were teenagers.

I had exactly the same feeling as you recently and have tried a few different ones eggs Independent and BBC.

Independent was a rubbish site to navigate round I felt. BBC is good of course although the most recent version is a bit clickbaity.

At the moment I'm back with the Guardian again although I'd be interested to hear if anyone recommends anything else

I've bought a Grauniad every Saturday for over 30yrs, they've had plenty out of me.

You've bought an anthrax riddled island every Saturday for 3 decades?

Daily Mail or the Sun should fit the bill.
