Regardless of the kind of news. I'm working on a TLDR bot and I'd like it to support the most used sites on Lemmy.

Of the big ones I prefer Reuters and APnews

[-] xyzinferno@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Pretty much the main two that I use as well lmao

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 5 points 11 months ago

Support for both added, it should work when I release the bot.

[-] whileloop@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

The Economist, Reuters, BBC, in no particular order.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 11 months ago

Reuters and BBC were already done. It seems that Economist requires a subscription or at least registration? I'm afraid I can't help with that.

[-] whileloop@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

In my experience, once you make an account they will let you read a lot of articles - even without paying.

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

There is a lot of washington post, NY times and the guardian articles on here. Thanks for the awesome work!

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 11 months ago

Washington post added, Guardian was already there, NY Times requires an account and enabled JavaScript.

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the response and swift action! At the risk of asking an exceedingly dumb question: would it be possible to make one for archive.org? That way we could have articles from almost any source.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 4 points 11 months ago

Can you send some link to an archive.org article? Can't find any there.

Improvethenews is a collection of all news sources and provides all sides of an argument. This is one of the best news aggregators.

[-] ougi@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

this is what I saw from the first thing I tapped lol. If this is the “best”, I weep for the worst.

[-] ivenoidea@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I for one am shocked that a site that pretty much positions itself as the lead centrists has shit takes.

[-] cll7793@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's very sad indeed that this is the "best". The only thing better would probably be specific youtubers who go get news sources for themselves. But I'm not aware of many.

I generally get my global news from BBC world news. They're pretty professional, to the point without getting sensational. Euronews is pretty good too, with a bit more focus on European events obviously. You just have to be aware they've sold their soul to Qatar. Other than that they're unbiased too.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 11 months ago

Both are already supported in my bot! Didn't know the thing about Qatar, it sucks.

[-] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Well, I understand they have to pay for the real journalist work. So you'll occasionally see a piece about how awesome it is to get married in Qatar! If you can see through the underhanded deals, it's not a big deal. Just don't count of them mentioning human rights issues about foreign workers' working conditions in the construction sector.

[-] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 9 points 11 months ago

Not my most-frequented, but definitely the one I admire most:

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 11 months ago

My bot now supports it!

[-] Poutine@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

I use CBC.ca and ctvnews.ca for Canadian news.

Take a look at the Media Bias Chart (adfontesmedia.com) and you can find the top quality news sources.

[-] sma3in@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

not a website but a news aggregator app created by Instagram founders "Artifact"

[-] utopianrevolt@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

out of curiosity: do you feel compelled to move over to open-source, non-algorithmic based news aggregation?

[-] sma3in@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

sounds interesting to me, I would definitely give it a try. artifact is not open source and it's AI powered. It seems to do a better job than a lot of news aggregators I tried before

[-] utopianrevolt@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

do you use android or ios?

i mostly use bruh.news for everyday news, but it doesnt have the political articles like the Trustworthy Times

[-] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 5 points 11 months ago

No cookies gives a Rick roll instead of showing the site for bruh.news. No thanks.

[-] i_do_not_agree@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

If you accept cookies it will also show you rick roll

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

set useragent to bruhnews and it should work

apparently its an ongoing bug with the website

[-] lettruthout@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago
[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 11 months ago

Sadly triggers captcha, won't work for my bot.

[-] stooovie@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago
[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

googled it to see if it was some new site, lol it's the Guardian.

[-] stooovie@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

It's an old joke, Guardian was known for insane amount of typos

[-] NiTRo_SvK@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[-] Reptorian@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

NBC, CBS, BBC, Axios, Reuters, and APNews. I ditched CNN a while ago. Just as long as they're not conservative, and I carefully look at whether they're corporate or not and make my take based on that.

HackerNews. I get my world news and stuff from Lemmy or whatever. Only really care about the big stuff since too much news just stress me out.
