news.yahoo.com and finance.yahoo.com. Are those aggregators or 'other web'? I don't want to vote wrong...

Daily Show is on the DVR, but by the time I watch it, it isn't news anymore.
I get the daily paper, but that's not news by the time I read it in the morning.
I go to MSN.com to link to hotmail, but there is scarcely any "news" there. It is more like, "stuff we think people will click."
I get Time magazine, and I get more of an in-depth story about the news of last week there, and a few of its columnists seem to know their shit. (Joel Stein is not humorous, though.)
