There are only about six news sources left. All the rest are simply trying to get a reaction out of you so they can sell you advertising.
There's very little you actually need to know. You don't need to know about what some pedo did to a kid. You don't need to know what some celebrity thinks about Hamas. You don't need to know which little kids got shot today because the yanks still think a 300 year old law is relevant.
Stop clicking the links.
If anything major happens, Associated Press, Reuters, the BBC and a few others will let you know the facts without any opinions or speculation.
The rest is just horseshit being spewed by people who don't have enough talent to be an actual writer, and there's an absolute fuckton of talentless cunts out there.
