Google news is terrible now. If you google the Mueller investigation,

[pnwmom]

for example, only a handful of today's stories will come up in the search, along with examples of older stories. If some new document has been filed, there might be only one report on it from one outlet, and no way I can see to link to more stories on the same topic.

I've looked at yahoo.com but it seems to have the same issue. Are there any other searches that are better?

1. Avenatti having fun again

Avenatti on morning joy today, twitters several punches to trump face today. trump who has slandered, etc almost everyone in his orbit, never seems to even mention avenatti.

[bearsfootball516]

29. Of course he doesn't. He's terrified of Avenatti.

[empedocles]

2. In perspective,

we have become conditioned to huge amounts of trump or mueller related news. I cannot recall anything like this coverage, in amount, from all sorts of sources, etc.
That said, I would like to see some Mueller coverage. I'm with you pnwmom.

3. Welcome to DU, empedocies! nt

4. Everything slows down on a holiday weekend.

[pnwmom]

5. This has been happening for several days. The format is different, too. There are no links

to related articles. I think this is the new Google News.

[pnwmom]

7. Thanks for the info. I still hate it. :)

[Fozzledick]

8. This is the second major downgrade to Google News in less than a year.

They've eliminated most of the content and functionality leaving a dysfunctional stub.

[lpbk2713]

9. I've noticed a decline for a while.

If you expand on a topic you don't get much.

[Hortensis]

10. I don't find that at all. Mueller doesn't give updates, you know.

But there's more discussion than anyone has time to read, knowing that it just keeps coming.

Looks like having so much turned up by investigative journalists that evening shows like Rachel's have to pack whole lists of new scandalous events in an hour may have spoiled us just a little. Remember, we've never known what's really happening in the investigation, only that it keep widening, and widening, and widening.

A quieter spell with nothing but Giuliani's attempts to spin our brains is an opportunity to widen reading to other sources. This is part of a quick muse on this moment, a reminder to be patient rather than anything new though.

Reading the Mueller Tea Leaves During a Confusing Week If the Papadopoulos or Kushner news left you feeling like maybe the Mueller investigation won’t have much to show for itself when all is said and done, there were plenty of other stories this week that suggest we don’t know the half of it.

In a court filing on Wednesday, Mueller’s office said, “The Special Counsel’s investigation is not a closed matter, but an ongoing criminal investigation with multiple lines of non-public inquiry.”

This was the strongest indication from the special counsel itself that it’s work is not close to done and much of it is still secret.

There was also a steady stream of new revelations of corruption and possible collusion with foreign governments on the part of Trump campaign officials and associates.

[pnwmom]

11. I know that. But when the NYTimes breaks a story, for example, it is often followed

by many stories from many outlets, all of which don't include the same details. If the NYTimes story is behind a paywall, with the old Google you could still read most of it through a combination of other sources. Now that's much, much harder.

[Hortensis]

14. I see what you mean. Knowing that the NYT has

often twisted coverage to benefit the right ("often" during the 2015-2016 campaign meaning every day, or in every Hillary Clinton event for the previous 25 years), though, maybe having to look beyond the NYT sphere is necessarily a bad thing.

ProPublica's been winning awards for its own investigative journalism. These are a couple among many.

https://www.propublica.org/article/a-guide-for-digging-through-trumps-financial-disclosures

[pnwmom]

15. I just used it as an example. There are many good sources behind paywalls these days

and unless you want to have subscriptions to all of them, it is helpful to read reports of other sources that cite them -- or even do their own stories on related topics. It's much, much harder to find these related stories with the new Google news.

[Hortensis]

20. I'm always doing that myself. We canceled our

NYT subscription after their role in throwing the election to the Republicans, including that extremely deceiving article just before the election, and kept WaPo and LATimes, which is my husband's favorite. But they also do excellent investigative journalism, and like you I'm always wanting to read what they're out front on.

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. I find I get better results going in via the standard Google front page

and then switching to 'News' - this give me the old Google News listing.

So I type 'Mueller investigation' into the normal google.co.uk (google.com for you, I guess). From those results, I then select the 'News' option from the menu at the top of the results ('All News Shopping Videos Images More'). That also then gives me the option of 'Tools' which has 'Sorted by Date', which gives you the latest ones (though that can end up being a lot of ones all based on the same AP report, sometimes).

[pnwmom]

17. Thanks, I'll try.

[Hortensis]

21. I thought Google news set us up for the same sort of targeting

and manipulation that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others did. Letting once source choose what you'll see sounds like a very bad idea. They're claiming to be cleaning themselves up, but there's no law requiring it, their executives haven't had brain transplants, and business overall doesn't want Democrats in power.

[4now]

13. I didn't think that they could make it any worse

but this almost unusable.

[pnwmom]

16. I'm glad someone could see what I meant!

[Scurrilous]

18. They changed it for the worse.

Still lots of Kardashian news though...that'll never change.

[Liberal In Texas]

19. The new design is apparently to accomodate cell phones.

On my phone I noticed after an upgrade or app update the "Newsstand" now just says "News" with a G logo in the icon. When you open it they are the exact same stories I get on my desktop now with the new Google News. They just look like they're designed for the phone and don't work so good on the computer.
Why they couldn't leave well enough alone is a mystery. Probably saves money.

[pnwmom]

22. I don't think they're doing it just to save money. It shouldn't be so heavily weighted

toward Trump.

25. www.google.com -- Sorry, I didn't see or use Google News. That's probably like Yahoo News.

[politicaljunkie41910]

31. None of the links you provided seem to open up to an actual article. Perhaps that's what they're

talking about.

[CloudWatcher]

27. Google News and Fox

I gave up on Google News years ago -- when I found I couldn't get it to omit bogus crap from Fox News.

But then, it's been years. Maybe they've added the ability to filter out the crap since then.

[mahina]

28. Completely agree. Plus, I selected my sources and excluded Fox, but what do I get?

Fox is always in my feed. I never click the links but they keep showing up. Ugh.

Reddit has supplanted google news for me. Of course down side, there are subreddits even for trump fans. But world news is good. I’ll have a look for US news.
