recommend general, skimmable news site?

[cellio]

I've been using cnn.com for my daily national/world news roundup, but they just redesigned the site and made it ugly and bloated. So I'm in the market for a news site that isn't.

I'd like a list of headlines that I can click through, not junked up with videos and audio files, animations, partial news stories on the main page (putting a highlight in a tooltip is fine), or other "improved design" -- just headlines linking to text stories, ideally sorted for US and world news, and if they want to put other categories on there like sports or entertainment I don't care so long as they're labelled so I can skip most of them. (I'll look at "tech" if it's there. I have never cared about sports or celebrity gossip.)

It should not require a humongous browser window and shouldn't break accessibility. Bonus points for working (as a web site, not an app) on my phone.

All news sites are biased, but I'm looking for one that's not too out of whack in any direction -- I want to have some reasonable confidence in the credibility of the news I'm reading, knowing that if something's important it calls for additional fact-checking.

Any recommendations?

News.google.com is a list of clickable headlines.

Oh! Huh, I should have thought to look there. Thanks.

I second news.google.com. If you want to get rid of a lot of the autorun videos, take a look at this link (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2858421/how-to-stop-autoplay-videos.html#tk.rss_all) (which was in last Saturday's news chum). The major problem with Google News is that it sometimes links to sites with paywalls. In that case, you can often just search for the headline to find the information on another site. One nice things about google news is that you can define categories of particular interest to you.
