This may be working again soon. I set this up in 1999, and it worked up until just after 9/11. I have been pinging some of my former colleagues to get it working again, and I’m hopeful it won’t be much longer.
UPDATE: Try this: cnn top stories.

I initially built it to cut down on the indiscriminate spiders I would see. Since I ran all the search projects at the CNN sites, I was able to set up a dedicated webserver instance for robots (called, funnily enough, robots.cnn.com). It was the exact same content without dynamically served ads. When I discovered Moreover.com wandering all over the place, I contacted them about what we had in place already, and decided to set up an RSS feed for them and anyone else who wanted it.
I left CNN not long after so I don’t know how popular it was: I got some feedback from within the company when I posted an announcement about it (seems folks in the European bureaus were monitoring developments in RSS/RDF).
