For those complaining about the news sites being sensationalist, why not just read Reuters? You will miss out on local news, but it's pretty reliable for international news.
OK, maybe a bit like BBC TV News used to be years ago (no idea what it is like today), but presumably it's still disaster-orientated (earthquakes, fires, wars, etc), even if it cuts out the news of what Trump tweeted last night, or what the Hollywood starlets are wearing (which frankly is one of the less psychologically damaging things to be reading/seeing on a daily basis!)
