I've switched almost entirely to AI news (basically research mode & give it 10 areas I'm interested in).

It definitely has a issues in the detail, but if you're only skimming the result for headlines it's perfectly fine. e.g. Pakistan and Afghanistan are shooting at each other. I wouldn't trust it to understand the tribal nuances behind why, but the key fact is there.

[One exception is economic indicators, especially forward looking trends stuff in say logistics. Don't know precisely why but it really can't do it..completely hopeless]

If all you're interested in are the headlines then why not just read the headlines?

Especially in the case of aggregators, I like that they remove, or at least tone down, the sensationalism.
