On Shams
He posts on X, which killed its feeds and blocks reading them. So instead of his account, the site watches for everything written about what he just reported. Same news, usually within minutes, with the context attached.
Same goes for Chris Haynes, Jake Fischer and Marc Stein.
How It Runs
Browsers cannot read most feeds directly, so nothing is fetched in yours. A job pulls every source, throws out duplicates and junk, and writes the result to a database this page reads.
If a source goes down the last good pull stays on screen instead of the page going blank.
Stored: headline, outlet, timestamp, link. Never article text.
