New Google News sucks
They took away my custom topics from the front page. And added a massively liberal-biased “Fact Check” sidebar.
Can anyone recommend an alternative news aggregator site?

Er, Drudge?
RealClearPolitics is good too.

Yeah, why aren’t you on Drudge?

Apple News is good (you can customize which news orgs it shows you) if you have an iPhone.

I used to use https://hotair.com/ , but it’s run by a Never Trump guy who alienated me during the last election. That might not bother you though.

I like Drudge, Fox, Breitbart, World News Today. None are perfect, but if you check them all, you get a pretty clear picture of what’s going on. BTW, WND has a current report denouncing Google News.

I think google have been doing a lot of finnicking around with their algorithms recently. Anything that they have labeled as right wing, they have given it a huge SEO penalty. I dont have any proof, it just seems that way from searching on google and youtube.

Thank you! I thought I might be crazy, the way no one else was talking about this.
I used Google news to keep an eye on the normie-tier news headlines and very specific topics that I’m interested in. A conservative news outlet would not be a replacement.

Right, Google uses an algorithm to show what people are reading, while Drudge manually posts links to thinks that he or his staff think you want to read, which is very cherry picked (although still useful).

Yahoo News is somewhat biased but not as much as Google News.

Even msn.com news is better than Google News. Today, they had a balanced article from The Hill about spying on Trump near the top. It pointed out that the spy was planted even before the Russia became an issue,
Microsoft is still evil, though.

Reddit has some good normie news feeds – https://www.reddit.com/r/news/
Yahoo is also okay but I find it focuses too much on anecdotal human interest stories, like an Amber Alert for a little girl in a town you’ve never heard of.
And Drudge or Breitbart or whatever might also unearth some interesting news, but I think what you’re looking for (as am I) is a “neutral” aggregator, not a hand-picked and clearly biased one. I guess Reddit comes closest there, because even though stories are posted by individuals, it’s the crowd that determines which ones rise to the top.
I just looked at MSN News for the first time in a while, and it also seems to do a decent job of what Google News used to do.
And wire services like AP or Reuters are also generally neutral, but they focus a bit too much on boring international news.

reddit users heavily slant SJW; the upvote/ downvote system and front page are manipulated, posts are heavily censored by leftist mods and autobots. Personally I avoid /r/news entirely.
Back in the day reddit was a great aggregator (though always SJW slanted) until ellen pao destroyed it.

Then there is freerepublic.com. Officially it is not a news aggregator but it’s mostly links to news articles. The interface is so 1990’s (no ads!) and liberal posters don’t survive long.

Free Republic was a terrific news aggregator 10 or 12 years ago, but the people responsible for that all got banned during one of the site owner’s Boomer outbursts. Just a shadow of its former self.

Gmail sucks too. It is the most confusing and counterintuitive email service available. Their search engine is the only thing of any quality they have ever produced.

I like to check headlines on both drudge and CNN. That covers most of the spectrum.

Lion, thanks for pointing this out. Wondering if it was just me. My highly customized GOOGLE news also vanished but I guessed it was my not clicking something in the endless reformats these things go through.

I’m also wary of the fact-check. Things like SNOPEs and Poynter and Pew are OK on non-politicized matters, but were hilariously wrong on things where I had direct knowledge including even misquotes.
