Nuke News IS back!

Nuke News would be cooler if it wasn't filled with bunny hugger articles about how dangerous and threatening these soon-to-explode plants are.
However, it has been a solid upgrade to my daily nukeworker experience!
Thanks!

Tell me which news sources to exclude, and I CAN exclude them. Thank you.

I am of the opposite opinion. It is always good to see all sides of an issue, it helps understand the argument of someone who only reads the bunny hugger articles.

I agree with you both. I like to see what others see. Hear what others hear. Know what others know.
However, some anti nuke articles/ websites are just worthless. I do not wish to get rid of all of them, just the worst offenders/most annoying sites. Another thing to consider, our link in to them raises their "reputation" on the web.
Currently, of the thousands of news sources, we filter out:
author:ENS|author:Environment News Service|author:Common Dreams
and author:AlterNet
Also, I can add acronyms like change Nuclear Regulatory Commission to NRC or Nuclear Power Plant to NPP in the titles, so if you see a commonly used phrase in the titles that should be shortened, let me know. Our software is very powerful, it can do almost anything.

I agree with Marlin that it is right to read some articles of varying opinions, but the amount of nuclear "experts" who are writting on behalf of some anti-nuclear agenda with fear mongering is abundant in the nuclear related news. I also love how every nuclear article must mention Fukushima.
I scoured the site news after Mike's post and couldn't find a single source (like wsj.com or local news) that I would suggest removing. Many of the annoying articles are probably unavoidable anyways and I can only imagine the time spent picking individual authors. The ongoing VY struggle, Palisades issue, and anti-nuclear sentiment in NY seem to dominate the news these days when big developments are happening in the world of SMR's and Vogtle/Summer.
I was mainly sharing frustration with my appreciation for this portion of the site.
