Agreed, "I've never submitted any CNBC anything anywhere" is not true, and you don't want to "let them all go bankrupt."

So why do you visit aggregators to find links to and read these news articles, when their reporting practices are so poor? I asked you for an alternative to them.

You are a market force, your engagement with CNBC and other mainstream media via reddit and Twitter encourages whatever reporting practices they use.

I read the comments first, assess if the article is worth reading. And why read them at all? There is nothing else to learn what is happening outside my sphere without disrupting my life to find out.

So that's not an alternative. You're reading news from the places you claimed "abused that trust to a criminal, near civil war!"
