RT News is still free.  Ooooh, maybe they’ll have more shirtless Putin photos.  
Or that hottie Maria Butina (she is actually on RT now, unless that was fake 
news).  And they have an app in the Apple Store.

would like to go back to the plain vanilla free one if I can figure out how to

OK, not being a member of the Apple cult, I was unaware of Apple News.  
Apparently what you have is Apple News+.

It seems to give you access to a lot of newspapers and magazines that would 
normally be behind their own paywalls.  It also allows family members to  share 
your subscription.  So it may be worth $9.99/month.  Assuming your family still 
reads, rather than consuming everything as video streams, Instagrams and 
Tik-Toks.  Or maybe I should say assuming your family still reads long-form 
publications rather than tweets.

Apple can just randomly charge you?  Or did you have to agree to something and 
put your ccard details in when you downloaded the app.  Which should have 
thrown up red flags right there....

News.google.com <http://News.google.com>  is just an aggregator of stories from 
other well known news sites.  Nothing to write home about.

 

Most “news” these days seems to be opinion, propaganda and ads.  They should 
pay me to view it, not the other way around.

Apple news on my iphone charged me $10/month this morning.  Has been free up 
until now.

May need to search for a free news feed for the phone now.
