Does anyone know if there's a module out there (preferably, free) that will dynamically display the top news stories for the day through a feed from CNN.com, FoxNews.com, Yahoo News, etc...?

Something similar is integrated into my personal portal at my University's website.  Here's a screen shot...

It seems to me like this would be out there somewhere, but I haven't been able to come up with anything through Google searches...

Thanks.

No, I had not.  In just taking a quick look at them now, though, I'm not quite sure how they would need to be configured in order to produce my desired result.  Admittedly, I am a DotNetNuke newbie in every sense of the word, so I'm definitely going to need someone to help walk me through this. 

Thanks!

Alright, I seemingly have gotten things to work through DotNetNuke's bundled News Feeds (RSS) module...

I initially tried using feeds from CNN.com and YahooNews, but the resulting content displayed included a bunch of formatting code.  I imagine this has to do with a styling sheet, but wasn't sure how to fix it.  Any ideas...?

In the meantime, I am working with an RSS feed from the Associated Press that displays much more normally, without all the added brackets and code snippets.  However, the feed is displaying 10 news headlines and excerpts, which is much more lengthy than what I am looking for (perhaps 3 or 4, max).  I've tried looking in the module's settings, but don't see anything that looks like it would allow me to change the default number of "items" displayed in the feed.  Can anyone help me with this?

Here's a screen shot (scaled down) of what I'm talking about...

Again, I would like to get this list of 10 down to a list of 3 to 4.

Thanks.

Check out any of iwonder's posts in the News Module forum, like THIS one... Phil's a wealth of knowledge on RSS and XSL.
