Much kudos to submitter for using the text-only cnn.io version. Instead of loading a megabyte of executable crud, moving images etc for three paragraphs of text I got...three paragraphs of text!

Thanks, but all credit goes back to HN for turning me onto cnn.io in the first place.

TIL I needed this. -- do you use any other text based sites?

I don’t, sorry. I’d certainly upvote and appreciate someone who put together a list of good ones though.

NPR also has a text only version:
