Politically I lean left, so my take from my view is the articles so far I've read are almost 90s like as they're much more just the facts and less spin. (Of course that's cause it's mostly just a wrapper around reuters and ap news feeds)

It's kind of refreshing.

I usually read news from news, politics, conservative, and socialist, and libertarian subs on reddit to get an idea how ppl think about what's going on from different angles. Usually just read the headlines and the comments. Plus hacker news.

I'm thinking when I just want news this might be a good portal to just get middle of the road news without opinions or spin in an old school layout that doesn't hurt my adhd brain.

BBC is mostly like that. They have the decency to put “analyst takes” after an hr in the news article and to feature multiple opinions. And you can just read the top “just the facts” section.

  • My issue with the BBC is that they don't cover everything. Specific topics which might anger the current government frequently do not get brought up, likely because the BBC's funding might be in jeopardy if they did.
