The news feeds us tons of information every day, from what is good / bad for you to details about events in other countries. I think a lot of people believe that news stations are credible, and willingly believe anything that is told to them. How should we perceive this information to be able to decide what is true / lies? Is it safe to trust news broadcasts?
Answer
No! try democracynow.org! Many are brainwashed daily into believing that corporate and gov't press releases are real news which they are not! The mainstream media has no incentive to find or report the truth anymore. They are their to keep the consumers churning while the rich fat ones get fatter on the profits generated by an economic system that operates with no ethics. We only notice the deficiency when the skimmers take too much profit from the middle class and the system breaks down. (eg bankers, oilcos, and car makers.)
Get ready to pay for The failures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 5-10 Trillion dollars is how many wars? Wake up and wake others up. Have you noticed that no news org wants to have real investigative journalists on board. That's why the latter turn to the internet and blogging and writing books that they sell through the book funders!--the publishing houses!

Answer
Actually RSS is the XML, to correct the post above. The RSS is updated on the back end, using a server side technology like PHP or ASP. You can also manually update it, but that is very tedious.
Most of the news sites, blogs, etc. that have RSS have their articles/posts saved in a database. The RSS feed script then just needs to read from this database and display the required data in the proper XML format. These sites will then either update the RSS on a regular basis, or, more usually, 'create' a new file every time it is requested, the same way the articles themselves are created. Usually, the RSS feed will just have the 15 or so most recent articles from a site (or section of the site in the case of most news sites).
