Is there a way to hide everything from nytimes.com?

``` document.querySelectorAll('.athing:has(a[href*="nytimes.com"]').forEach(x => { x.style.display = "none"; x.nextElementSibling.style.display = "none" }) ```

If anyone has a script to hide the new yorker, NYTimes, wapo, buzzfeed, businessinsider, telegraph, etc etc all the tabloids, i'd also love to see it!

Can we add substack? Also I manage to do that inconciously, along with medium.

Edit: Generally, WaPo and NYT are quite good. Sometimes so...

Make it a service and call it Detox. I would pay for that.

Sincere question, if you consider those tabloids, which sources do you trust?

The New Yorker, for instance, famously has one of the most intense fact checking operations of any publication. If it’s a matter of your personal politics disagreeing with perceived editorial bias of those, godspeed. But at least the first three you list have a lot more to lose by getting a factual statement wrong than most.

Reuters and AP News tend to have less sensationalist stuff.

CNN and Fox News directly tell you who you should vote for 24/7.

NBC, ABC, etc. tend to be a little bit more discrete but they have clear preferences on various topics.

I don't think HN supports any form of blacklisting natively, so... userscript? Possibly there's already relevant ones available.

You might even be able to do it via userstyles thanks to the :has selector.
