Anybody else use Google News and noticed that Fox is getting a lot of play?

I'm sure there's money and power being traded.

In a normal section about a particular topic, there can be 2-5 different news sources cited. If one of them is Fox it is almost always diametrically opposed to the other sources (usually MSM).

Not sure why the underlords at Google think it is necessary to throw in pure rubbish. Newsmax, RU, Pravda, Tass are next?

I'll take any suggestions for good alternate aggregators. I do read and subscribe to The Guardian, WaPo. ProPublica. But I'd like a more world-wide aggregator without Google's obvious biases.

or any other source, if you are signed in to Google. Just click the little 3-dot icon next to that story headline and it's an option at the bottom of the menu. If you're not signed into Google, you do not have that option.

You can also hide sources on MSN in a similar way, without needing to be signed in.

I have hundreds of sources that I had previously blocked.

You're the best! (And I feel a bit less.)
