LA Times just launched a redesign.
While it’s an improvement from the previous incarnation, my biggest gripe is the links are indistinguishable from the text. Visited links don’t change colors either. And Jakob Nielsen can’t stop rolling his eyes. His basic guideline for visualizing links:

It’s interesting the direction LAT decided to take: making the site look like the paper.
