“Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp Launches Knewz With 400-Plus 400-Plus Publishers, Promising No Clickbait or ‘Narrow-Minded Nonsense’”

FTA:4 hours ago ... Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp says it’s trying to battle fake news and social-media clickbait with Knewz, its own curated headline-aggregation service.

The company’s new Knewz.com site — a text-heavy agglomeration that has already drawn critiques of its cluttered design — officially launched Thursday as a “beta” test. The site, patterned after other aggregators like Google News, Apple News and Drudge Report, compiles headlines and links for publications across a broad range of political leanings, from Fox News and Newsmax to Daily Kos and Mother Jones. In announcing the launch of Knewz.com, News Corp said readers will be presented news “from the widest variety of sources, free of filter bubbles and narrow-minded nonsense.”

Knewz.com site

thanks for the tip.

YIKES! I just went there & my initial reaction is it is like a fire hose blasting you with headlines. Might be good, but for me, I have to get used to what appears to be disorganization & overflow of info.
