hey guys--hoping to get recommendations on a good news portal to use. used to prefer news.google.com, but they've implemented something so that now, i have mini-freezes as my mouse trips on article titles while browsing the page--reporting constant usability info i'm guessing. i've used news.yahoo.com a bit, but find it lacking and don't like much of the opinionated content that seems hard to suppress.

any portal you guys are using that you'd recommend?

thanks guys.

and on news.yahoo.com, you can't find things like this (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ow2z9/iama_former_gameroom_employee_of_chuck_e_cheese_i/).
