In all seriousness, please don't blame me for being ignorant - the current mainstream media is filled with the vilest, most vitriolic bullshit, so I've stopped watching the TV, and then there's hardly a few legitimate news sites with proper Atom/RSS support that I can keep track of.

Regarding RSS feeds:

  • The Hindu has RSS feeds
    Their articles are behind a paywall, but their titles are not too clickbaity, so I do get an idea of the news. If you use firerox then reader mode can help.

  • Then there's rss-bridge, which you can help you get things into rss feeds.
    They have public instances and I think one can even host it, if one wishes to.

    I use the css selector bridge for some local news websites that don't have native feeds.

  • The rss radar extension also helps to know whether websites visited have rss feeds.

  • And google news also gives feeds(if you don't want to avoid it) if you use /rss/in their url.

It is a right-wing bucket of diarrhoea, so I avoid that. If you check their YouTube videos, it should be evident that they're not ashamed of spreading hate speech and fake news.
