Dear sir

Hello

I just killed the Guardian app because it’s full of whiny opinions. It’s not that I’m not sympathetic to progressive views; I am in fact. It’s just that they take it way too far, to the point that I just can’t stomach it any more.

What I was hoping for was that the ABC app would give me an option to kill all opinion and all whining (no articles with ‘how’ or ‘why’ in the heading, for example). I just want the facts and nothing else. I’ll do my own opining.

Also I don’t want to know about an event until it’s over, unless it’s sport. Politics, for example, isn’t worth watching in my world view. I want to know who won an election but I don’t want to watch the lies in action.

Can you do this? All you would need for each article is a score between 0 and 10, from dry to wet, from facts to bullshit, or from journalism to hysteria. You could let the user choose their own global threshold so that they would only see articles with a specific score, e.g. 0-1 scores in my case.

Thanks
