I’m not sure if this is a feed parser bug or if the publishing sites are not following the standard properly. However, I have several feeds where the dates are being misinterpreted, for example:
I assume these last two have the same exact issue since they appear to be using the same publisher and URL parameter format. However, the first one is a completely different source.
These appear to be active feeds with valid pubDate tags, but NetNewsWire interprets their dates as epoch (12/31/1969 or 1/1/970). Some of the updated posts in these feeds appear with slighly later dates such as January 1-11, 1970 and April 1-11, 1970. It is possible I added them 11-12 days ago, and they have just been counting up since then.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?
