I refuse to recognize MSN as a valid source. Nothing but a middleman serving ads.

I admire how the victims of Microsoft Windows are fed msn news directly in the comfort of their start menu

comfort of their start menu

Thinking windows start menu is comfort is peak stockholm syndrome.

It's just reposting ABC News if that matters

[-] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

It doesn't. I found the same news several times over elsewhere, covered in more detail. I appreciate the sentiment though, thank you.

It's probably a good thing, as MSN is not a primary source (They buy their news from other agencies)

[-] DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

This is what I meant. It's an aggregator whose primary function is not to relay news but to draw people into microsoftland and/or advertise to them. To be sure, other news sites do this too, but they actually have journalists and editors and therefore (at least the pretense of) journalistic integrity.
