Fear is America’s top-selling consumer product
I&#x27;m slowly trimming away the means I acquire news, because it&#x27;s all becoming so editorialized. Twitter is bombarded with bots and flamewars, reddit is a lost cause, and news.google.com is mainly driven by larger syndications that have mastered the &quot;Big Headlines Sell&quot; strategy.<p>That leaves HN and my little local papers, Mountain View Voice and its ilk. Great for local stories and tech news, but I feel like I&#x27;m missing out on what&#x27;s going on in the world. Every time I dip my feet in global news, it&#x27;s screamed at me, dripping in panic: &quot;Trump DID A THING!!!&quot; &quot;Cops Shoot a Guy AGAIN WHY DID THEY DO THAT?!!&quot;<p>Are there any good general global news sources that don&#x27;t try to manipulate my emotions as I read them? Paid or free.
