...I'd be grateful for your views on the following options:
1. News only: Simple factual content from verified sources.
2. News and commentary: The above plus the writers personal views as a clearly distinguished comment on the issue.
3. Retrospective commentary: A longer term view on events rather than daily 'firing from the hip' predictions.
4. Unbridled rant.

1 through 3 only
And if it hasn't been reported in either (i) The New York Times, (ii) The Washington Post or (iii) The Guardian then it probably didn't happen. They don't have to be the first to report it, but if they don't pick it up then I will struggle to believe that the original source was legit.

TBH at 10 o clock, each night, on the telly before a repeat of question of sport. ideally endinv with an uplifting tale of a cat being rescued from a cement mixer or a panda finally conceiving i think telly news people find it harder to be w**kers.

1 to 3 although 4 can be amusing from time to time. Clearly anyone who reads the Express is just after 4.

I don't Fluffy. I will give an online source greater credibility if their stories are regularly picked up by one of those three, but I won't trust a story 100% until it has been picked up.

Supes, sorry to target you (you are the only one responding ) - do you subscribe to the NYT or WP.

Not at all tbh. Information tends to conflict with my opinions

I do subscribe to both of them as well as the Guardian, even though it's free. They are basically the only thing stopping us from plunging headlong in to chaos.

4 is good for being amused, but not for informing oneself, which was the question.

Mostly I just like disagreeing with, what I perceive to be, "the mobs" viewpoint.
Why would I need to be informed in order to disagree with that?

Mostly one with a smattering of two and three.
Number four is what blogs etc. are for: I see little reason for including it in proper news sources.
