>BBC puts most US sources to shame on World events

They have some problems with their feed composition, though.  I'm sure NFFC will object, but the latest football happening is NOT a world event.

There has to be an English language Japanese daily, if I had time I'd look.  I rely on NHK TV news for my objective Asia/Pacific news but that won't do for reading.
Here are a few:

World's most popular sport, where a "world series" actually includes other countries :)

Not really news, but even when I disagree with him he makes me think and he often looks at things from an angle I never thought of.

stumbled upon a subreddit that is an rss aggregator for news sites.

And massively polluted with now infamous fake/manipulative sources.  I've applied my scripts and it is now a great resource for seeking articles that are crowded out elsewhere.   It also gives me a quick window on 'most popular' articles and what I see there is definitely worrisome in terms of public sharing trends.  I would only recommend it to others with massive caveats regarding sketchy sources.

Yeah I've backed away from NewsNow a bit except for the tech feeds.  But then I've backed away from most news anymore lately.

After long-term use, I just wanted to say that heavily filtered NewsNow has become one of my best sources of good articles and sites.  It consistently turns up articles and rss sources that just don't make or are overwhelmed in the US mainstream.  Good one, Brad.
