python - How to use the pipe operator as part of a regular expression?

I want to match the url within strings like

u1 = "Check this out http://www.cnn.com/stuff lol"
u2 = "see http://www.cnn.com/stuff2"
u3 = "http://www.espn.com/stuff3 is interesting"

Something like the following works, but it's cumbersome because I have to repeat the whole pattern

re.findall("[^ ]*.cnn.[^ ]*|[^ ]*.espn.[^ ]*", u1)

Particularly, in my real code I wanted to match a much larger number of web sites. Ideally I can do something similar to

re.findall("[^ ]*.cnn|espn.[^ ]*", u1)

but of course it doesn't work now because I am not specifying the web site name correctly. How can this be done better? Thanks.

Non-grouping matches.

re.findall("[^ ]*.(?:cnn|espn).[^ ]*", u1)
