Xnews is possibly the most modern of all newsreaders.

nn is great, and so like Xnews, that you won't even realize you're using

In the days of the Soviet bloc, the Russians used to say 'There's no 
Pravda in Isvestia, there's no Isvestia in Pravda'*.

* 'Pravda' is Russian for 'truth', 'isvestia' is Russian for 'news'.
