Hmm, it's unfortunate that this is being shut down. If you're looking for alternatives, I've been using the New York Times app, CNN, and Buzzfeed News. You need to deal with some annoying notifications (for example, CNN sent me a "Hero of the Year" notification today), but it's better than nothing.

Well I think you're a hero!
The Guardian also has a good app. And good journalism, too.
Or just use the DuckDuckGo app.
I'm already aware of the content of ever MSM feed, no matter the platform. At least 50% is complete opinion pieces questioning every choice and sentence spoke by the POTUS-elect, at least one article giving false hope that the election could still be over-turned, an article about how hot Ryan Reynolds or Ryan Gosling is, an article that is just a video (or recap) of SNL mocking said POTUS elect, an extremely vague article about why the Obama's where so amazing, and one buried article about something new and interesting that most people should be aware of.
Hmm I'm sensing some bias in your comment...
Well, check out basically any news source besides Fox, which I don't care for either, and tell me how I'm wrong. I'm not a Trump supporter, but MSM has become identical to Facebook news feed. It's popular opinions dressed up as news. I don't feel like it's informing me of much.

They're not going to get much traction with the Fake News narrative if they don't enact some real change on their part. If I'm wrong and there's a news source out there that isn't comprised of this, I'd appreciate you guys pointing me to it.

Yup. That's the "news" today.
hmm thanks for this, i didn't know I needed this till now :)
