Why take the Google News feed, strip out all the trackers (and other images) and JavaScript, and present it with minimal formatting at
68k.news, Alex?
(And
here's a story on The Register about the site.)

Uhm... My one complaint is, "Pictures would be nice. Even old-skool dead-tree newspapers have had pictures ever since cameras were a thing."

Well, this is part of why scripts were invented in the first place - so that you don't have to do tedious stuff like download an image, upload it again, and insert a credit and a link to the source.
