The program starts a new article too frequently. Knight, perhaps you could slow the goat down to about an hour? Thats still plenty of headlines, but with half the spam.
OK, I can slow him down.
Some topics only get posted once every 8 hours or so.

It works for me

.....O LORD my God, in You I put my trust. Psalm 7:1
.....To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. Psalm 25:1
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~ Leo Buscaglia
OK, I deleted some of his feeds and slowed down the remaining feeds.

Don't you know
That it ain't a crime
If all the squares
And the junkmen
Think you're out of line

It's difficult to ignore the news stories when they absolutely FLOOD the discussion board! Maybe you could create a new sub-forum; "News & Current Events", or something along those lines? TOL was great before, now we have to scan through a bunch of meaningless news stories to find a worthwhile topic to post in.
So I don't have a problem with the news feed itself, I think it's a good idea, but I don't think it should flood (or even post) in any of the main sub-forums.
One vote for a "News & Current Events" sub-forum.
