1) Can Grouper simply find and list news articles on a site and exclude advertising articles?

For example, at www.newswithviews.com/ they have news articles listed along with advertising articles. The articles are not listed by date. I want to scrape only the news articles and display them using CARP by date.

2) Does Grouper have to scrape by using search terms or can it be programmed to simply find all the news articles?

3) Can I program Grouper to only scrape the first two or three sentences of each article?
