About this feed
Topics are assigned by this site from the headline and excerpt, not by the publishers, so the same story is tagged the same way wherever it comes from. The same story reported by several publishers is shown once, attributed to whichever feed we saw first. Headlines are retained for 45 days, and a source that stops responding is reported as stale rather than quietly dropped.
