Almost as Ugly

Tim and Eddy need to go back to the table on this one.
Ronnie Howard is money in the bank, even Andy knew that.

"The recovery is not done yet," Vestager said in a statement to CNBC. "But, we have been working with the Irish authorities and we can see that they are moving forward to do the recovery of the unpaid taxes."

Both Apple and Ireland are contesting the Commission's findings, with Apple claiming the European Union "took unilateral action and changed the rules, disregarding decades of Irish tax law, U.S. tax law, as well as global consensus on tax policy." The Irish government is also "fundamentally disagreeing" with the findings. 

How can these two paragraphs be in the same story? 

Which is it, they are writing the check or "We're gonna sue"  Hard to have it both ways unless there is someone in Ireland that is preparing to throw Apple under the bus - they hope anomalously...

Apple has always said they would contest.

What the hell is that? We haven't used those words in 40 friggin years. How dare you resurrect such a bizarre and outdated concept! /s

This is THE ONLY news app I have found that pushed breaking news with ZERO editorializing, spinning, or opining. It links to a plethora of sources when news was breaking and is informative with no fluff. I agree with the previous comment that readers are skewed. We should be able to ascertain fact from opinion anytime we are fed news from any source.  I would have gladly paid for this app. 

Now I will ask again, has anyone found a decent enough, semi-comparable alternative? 

You are absolutely correct in your description of this app.

Take the perception of NBC out of the picture and imagine raw information from hundreds of sources around the world, delivered verbatim as it happens.  This is what these folks did, and they did a hell of a job.  The user decides whether the information is relevant or not.
I know news producers that use this app to get the latest info and stay on top of things around the world that most of us don't even hear about.

I have used this app for quite a while and also would have paid to keep it.  I have not found a comparable replacement, damnit.
