Yes. The recipe has to be fixed. Hopefully the recipe author will do it. If not, you or anyone else can tackle it.

or is it pretty much destined to break everytime the feed changes/adds an article?

You misunderstood me. The recipe doesn't break because the feed changes. It breaks because the structure of the web page that the feed points to has changed. Feeds are standardized quite well and the recipe system can almost always read them. It's the web pages that change drastically. Yes, we are all doomed to chasing the changes in the web pages. I have recipes I maintain change on me three times in a week.

I have found that a decent chunk of the built in recipes for news feeds I want to grab are doing this same thing, I get the preview blurbs that are part of the RSS feed itself but the complete articles are simply a "this article downloaded from /link here/" and no actual article text.

Yes, many recipes are written by authors at the request of others. If the author doesn't read that recipe, he won't notice it has broken. You can PM the author to let him know. The author's name is in the recipe.
