This website was popular a long time ago (May still be popular), but it was a site that basically compiled links in headline-list format to world news. It also had labels next to each headline to say whether it was political, satire, etc.

Literally a list of links to articles on external sites, all mixed together, organized by day. Taken from all over the internet. Each headline given it’s own little spin.

Does the OT know what site I am talking about?

I was thinking of the Drudge Report of 10-15 years back...

Hint: there's a board on this very website dedicated to it

My first thought.

OP, Is this what you're looking for?

Probably Topix. It was owned by the three large newspaper publishers and it would default to national news. You could put your zip code at the top and it would pull news from your area.

No, not Drudge Report. The site I am thinking about didn’t stick to politics. It had news about the animal world, archaeology, science, literally any kind of news you could think of, with each link labeled as what it pertains to right next to the link.

Jackpot! Thanks. I hadn’t been on the site for years and the name escaped me.

ETA: The answer was fark.com

It sounds like the drudge report but it was bought by progressives and is no longer of any use. Why does this always happen? Why doesn't something like huffingtonpost get bought by conservatives and changed to a conservative site?
