Because they contain little, or nothing, more than just that “Read More” link.
What’s the point of letting people syndicate, when all you’re syndicating are links back to the website?! I know you want eyesballs and all. I don’t care, just gimme more than stand-firsts!
MSNBC feeds suck.
New York Times feeds suck.
Washingtonpost feeds (well, a few of them, like Miss Manners) suck more.
The New Yorker feeds suck the most.
Am I missing something here?
Do I have to pay for longer excerpts or full stories or what (mind you, I already have a New Yorker print subscription)?
Pfff.

You got a point there, I’m really pissed off by that kind of RSS feeds. Has nothing but a title, It really kills my mood to surf over there
