Hacker News had an entry today on Text Only News WebSites - a fast way to get to the meat of the matter.

I wish it was RSS like, but there are alternatives for summaries (independent of anything yahoo/google/facebook might produce):

skimfeed - snapshot of what is happening across various news sources
github: awesome console services - meta link to find more console stuff
Another take on from the seeing impaired, something we can learn: "I’ve been getting a lot mileage out of safari’s and brave’s reader mode"
markets.sh - meh, summaries might be ok, but can't copy text for stuff I want to keep
