I think the "feed" you're looking for is a physical newspaper subscription. If this sounds totally incorrect, hear me out. My wife gifted me a twice-a-week newspaper subscription a few months ago and it has many of the characteristics you're describing:
- Delayed news so the speculative-by-the-hour stuff is just not there.
- Fee that removes (most) ads, about $2/week.
- While authors can't truly keep their partisan opinions out of their writing, the "opinion" section contains most of it (I skip it).
- Turning the page and throwing out the paper when done "marks stories as read". Repeating article themes usually have important updated information.
There are additional benefits like the date and author of every article is very clear. There is a consistent quality of writing/editing. A solid half of the paper is about stuff local to my town and region in the state. A nice bonus is my elementary school aged kids sometimes catch a headline that interests them and I give them the page to read, after which we talk about it.
The downsides are:
- I get news later. For example, my wife found out Peewee Herman died like 3 days before I did.
- Going outside and physically picking up the paper isn't always convenient. Some days it comes at 6 AM, other days at 9 AM. I guess it depends on the paper person's route?
- There is a need to remember to get to a computer if there's something to remember for later, like a recipe or an event to schedule on the calendar.
If the above sounds appealing, I recommend getting some local paper subscription and cancelling if you don't like it after a few weeks. I don't have experience paying for an online-version of a newspaper, but I'm sure of the above benefits carry over.
