Venus bug? Weird behavior with missing channel_link and channel_title_plain etc

[David L. Sifry]

Awesome, that fixed that problem.

Here's a strange one, though.  Here's the feed:

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=north+korea+nuclear+test&ie=UTF-8&output=atom

That's a Google News Atom 0.3 feed (I don't think they produce an Atom 
1.0 feed yet) and planet.py seems to think that there are no new items 
in 90 days (even though clearly there are)...

Any ideas?
