What you are asking for is called "scraping" and is generally discouraged, especially by the sites from which you are doing the scraping. It pumps up entries in their logs with no real visitation, skewing any statistical analysis of site traffic, and is generally annoying to the "victim" site.
So chances are you will find few resources for this or have to write a script on your own. You are better off learning a little about XML and getting your news from a site that offers it freely through RSS XML feeds. That's better anyway, you don't have to strip anything off, just parse the feed and format it the way you like.
