The registry

Every source vetted before it earns a place.

Each feed is validated live (a working endpoint, real content, a real corrections policy) before it's sorted into one of three tiers. Dead, stale, or hype-driven feeds do not make the cut, and the registry is re-checked continuously so it never goes quietly out of date.

Notably absent: Reuters and the Associated Press retired their public RSS feeds. Their wire reporting still arrives here through BBC, NPR, and Guardian syndication.
