Most downloaded local news app adds disclaimer that it's not always "error-free."

    “NewsBreak”, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

    Never heard of it. Hard to believe it’s the most downloaded news app. I guess I’m out of touch.

      “Most downloaded” just means “biggest phone farm”.

      I was expecting it to be Ground News considering how much they advertize on YouTube.

      Do most Americans really get their news from Chinese AI now? I can’t really believe that but then sadly maybe I can…
