I am using the core Aggregator module to get a Google News RSS feed such as http://news.google.com/news/section?cf=all&ned=us&topic=m&ict=ln

I want to then display these feeds using Views in the same manner as they are displayed on the Google News page. The Google news page shows an Image, Title, Source of News Item, Date, and Body summary for each item on the page. Thats the way I want to display it. Each item also gives the option of being expanded where it then shows extra sources for the story but I dont need that stuff.

The problem is the expanded list is all the above fields PLUS the expanded list of sources what shows up in the Google News RSS feed.

I can't see how I can filter out that stuff as I dont have the option of including/excluding particular parts of each item in the view settings. I just include the field - Aggregator: Body and the whole lot gets shown.

So does anybody know is it possible get the feed displaying the way I need it do which is the way it looks on any Google News page where the individual items haven't been expanded?

instead of using the core aggregator module, use the feeds.module in contrib which then turns the items into nodes and then views can interact with them in total.
