USA Today Fails
I am getting the following error message when attempting to download. I also notice that my local paper, which is also a Gannett publication with similar look and feel and HTML coding to USA Today, is also failing. I have created a custom recipe for the local paper. I wonder if they have changed something on their web sites?

No, it's because the Gannett RSS feed URLs have changed. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...b2608a47a11562

Thank you.
Did you find those URLs somewhere? The RSS page still references the old syntax. It looks like you made it all lower case and added &x=1 to the end. What does that suffix do? |

The HTML pages that the old RSS feeds point to have the new URLs in their <meta> tags

USA today sure does fail. Donald Trump's latest executive order is going to help destroy the environment.
