- Fixed import error by restoring proper NewsFetcher class structure
- Updated RSS feed fetching implementation with improved error handling
- Enhanced feed parsing with better timeout management and user agents
- Maintained compatibility with existing system architecture
- Resolved server startup issues caused by missing class definition
- Added proper User-Agent headers to avoid blocking by RSS servers
- Implemented fallback mechanism: HTTP request with headers -> direct feedparser
- Extended timeout to 15 seconds for better reliability
- Enhanced error logging with detailed feed parsing information
- Improved handling of 'bozo' (malformed) feeds with better reporting
- Added informative messages for feeds with no new content
This resolves RSS fetching issues and improves news aggregation reliability.
🚀 Major System Upgrades:
- Upgraded from 10 to 15 API endpoints (50% increase)
