But I don't think it fits the forum rules for late breaking news.
Such is life.
I found a plain-text news aggregator at
https://getinstantnewsnow.com/
They just post ads on the right that my ad blocker doesn't yet know about (waits for updates) but they are so far easy to ignore.

Another news aggregator for your consideration when posting.

Abrego Garcia's ask judge to ban "baseless public attacks" by Trump admin.
New source August 29, 2025 By mattysue4@gmail.com
In the above, the title has the article link, and New Source has the source's main page or rss link.
In this case, an unreadable XML file, so it goes. Perhaps it's for a feed reader.
I got no indication about who the "By" refers to, apparently the person submitting the link, but I don't think that "NPR Staff" actually sends links to the site.(It's in one of the posts)
Well, it does seem to work if these quirks don't bother you.
Happy aggregating.

DON'T do this, DUers. They pay you to have a device attached to your internet, or install software on your computer, to function as a VPN, or a re-mailer/spammer. They have the potential to sniff your normal traffic, and in any case, it's pretty shady.

Good advice.

(3,563 posts)The feeds that GetInstantNewsNow links to are regular RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds for news sources like NY Times and NPR. Different outlets can have feeds for particular topics, like politics, science, or sports. With some readers, you can aggregate topics from different sources into the same stream.
Here's more info on RSS and RSS readers. (I like LifeHacker as a info source for tech stuff.) https://lifehacker.com/tech/best-rss-readers
Unfortunately, seems like none of this get me around paywalls.
For a news aggregator, I've been intending to try out Ground News (https://ground.news/). Mostly subscription-based, but tries to draw from sources across the political spectrum. They used to advertise with Trae Crowder and he claimed he liked them himself.

(39,223 posts)Platforms like Substack recognize this appeal, and invite you to follow numerous writers in a tidy feed on their app. But with Substack, youre limited to following only the writers who publish on that platform. Youre also at the mercy of their rapidly accelerating enshittification, as they work to lock readers and writers into the product, while making the experience worse for both.
Theres a more enshittification-proof option.

Choose an RSS reader
Many good free and paid RSS readers exist, as web-based, desktop, or mobile apps. I personally use and like Inoreader.g I pay for a subscription, but it has a generous free tier. Ive also heard good things about NewsBlur and, for Apple users, NetNewsWire. I no longer recommend Feedly. There are also RSS browser add-ons, like Feeder and SlickRSS...
