Not sure what your traceroute was trying to do. The address {edited for privacy} appears to be a pool address in, possibly Philadephia? maybe your router address?
What command were you using? Are you using a Mac or linux/unix based system. In either case the results should be similar to the windows based command I used and should show you the hops from the soure (you) to the destination. Whatever you were using appears to be resolving the address of the 2 destinations to the same ip address, possibly are you using a proxy?
A tracert (windows based) to news.giganews.com should look like this, ignore the first 2 hops as they are internal to my house network
Try using the tracert command as below, in a CMD window, and see what results it gives you.
