That's intentional, especially with CNN. The major news sites have essentially been tabloids since the death of print.

Sites from local TV news groups seem to be the most dispassionate reporting these days.



PBS News Hour. I've never watched more boring and informative news in my entire life.


NewsHour is great. Litigation of the petty partisan crap is restricted to a 10-15 minute segment on Friday evening.


Reuters TV[0] is pretty good for this too, you can even set how much time you want to watch it and it will pair down the information. Extremely boring for the most part.

Really? Our local TV news websites are:

1) absolutely terrible user experiences -- like, so many ads that the scrolling lags on my 16 inch MBP.

2) clearly just reposting whatever their parent networks feed them for everything except local news (so, Fox and NBC, the two mentioned in this article, are literally feeding lines to these "local" channels that are ostensibly totally different from their parent networks)

IMO: the death of local newspapers is a problem but the death of local TV news can't happen fast enough.


CNN is nothing but editorials.
