Haystack News was born in 2015 because it was hard to stream high-quality, trusted news without sifting through masses of irrelevant video. It's our goal to get you the info you want and need—the news equivalent of the proverbial needle in a haystack—without wasting your time on things that don't matter to you. Have another question?
