Back to the Future with RSS

So what's a good general news feed? The Associated Press shut theirs down. The New York Times doesn't update much throughout the day.

I'd like a good news feed that only has really important stories. No filler, no press release stuff.

newsblur has a 'trainer' feature where you can train it to hide certain topics or authors and highlight others. it doesn't work with every feed though so you'll have to try it out yourself or maybe there are other readers that do something similar

It’s basically a “highlight / stop” list for words in title, stories, author names, etc. nice interface for that, but from my experience not very effective.

Iirc Samuel Mentioned they are working on something better that trains statistics/ML on examples. But at present it’s just a “highlight/stop” list.

Shameless Plug: https://UncensoredNews.US I import the best progressive news feeds, and recommend the best articles (in blue). The other articles are also available if you re interested. The RSS links, link to the original articles, not to my site.
