Bad: news.google.com

I constantly find myself scrolling through the articles of Google News on my phone. I love the way their mobile site looks and the way it organizes the articles makes it easy to use. However, their desktop site is a different story.
Upon opening the website on my laptop, I was overwhelmed. The page was filled with sports scores, weather information, a menu, and links to multiple news articles. It seemed that Google ditched its organization methods that made its mobile site so easy to use and filled the front page with everything they could. The sports scores and weather sections on the right hand side of the page were very distracting and made the article section look cluttered. Also, the "Top Stories" portion of the menu on the left side of the page had too many options and made the menu more difficult to navigate.
