I love how every ten seconds, the site repositions the scroll so as to promote ads at the expense of actually finishing the article lol
The article has ads in it?

Good, freely accessible, and ad-free press. You can only choose 2.
The economics of journalism are tough.
The economics are rough, but there are many which offer all three. E.g.: NPR's text site: https://text.npr.org/
Public funding is kind of a cheat, but if we're gonna include them, I'd like to spruik that the ABC still technically has functional rss feeds: https://james.cridland.net/blog/2025/abc-news-australia-rss-...
They're no longer officially supported though.
Wow, this is great. It's like Hacker News/Old Reddit for news.
PBS News Hour is all three.
