• RSS is still pretty great

  Https://theoldreader.com/ Just toss in a site you like, it'll (try to) find the RSS feed, and you're done. I have about 50 sites added in the old reader, and it makes following them easy. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• The future of /r/videos.

  Perhaps. I fired up my ancient Old Reader account last night and started adding some feeds I'm interested in. Pretty hilarious looking back at the ones I had like 10 years ago (99% of were dead). Source: 11 months ago

That means that MSNBC is less factual than 83% of the other news sources presented in the dataset. CNN is in the 15th percentile. Fox News sits right in the middle of these two in the 16th percentile. Source: about 1 year ago

  According to thefactual.com, CNN received a Factual Grade of 53.3%, placing it in the 15th percentile. Fox News received a Factual Grade of 53.6%, placing it in the 16th percentile. Both are shitty, but according to this analysis, Fox News is marginally higher. MSNBC received a Factual Grade of 54.9%, placing it in the 17th percentile. You are a Dunning-Kruger ignoramus.
