Disclaimer: I don’t use News+. This is just what I think I remember for on some podcast episode a while ago.
IIrc: it only does this for the Top Stories feed which is a handful of stories handpicked by Apple. It would be weird if your Top Stories was super short or completely blank because you happened to block all the right sources. Your regular feed should be filtered.
Jesse: Michigan is a landlocked state.
Walter: The Great Lakes State?
Jesse: I mean, sure it is made up of two peninsulas and a bunch of islands,
And It has the largest navigable international border in the US,
And the Great Lakes feed into the ocean through the St Lawrence Seaway, And millions of tonnes of cargo pass through the Great Lakes each year on oceangoing vessels.
But it technically does not have a border touching the ocean. That means it’s landlocked.
Walter: Jesse, WTF are you talking about?
