        nytimes.com, washingtonpost.com, newyorker.com (and many
others) rely on users' browsers to keep track of the pages they have
accessed so as to limit use.  Although lynx keeps cookies, it doesn't
run the script (or whatever it is) that these sites use, thus one can
browse them without limit.

There are also sites that rely on CSS when presenting teasers prior to payment or your providing your life history.

Remember, though, that news sites are not there to provide news. They are there to make money.
