FWIW, check out CNN's light page [0]. It's an amazing experience for a text-only page that loads blazingly fast.

If you like CNN's, also check out NPR's and CSM's pages! VoA also has a Gopher mirror and an RSS feed with actual content instead of just a link. I'm still looking for more text only sites like these, but so far these 4 cover general news pretty well.

Brilliant. There should be some way to incentivize lite pages, even if only for news websites.

Using them instead of the main page is a good start.
