Both of the NYT feeds I subscribe to have problems when I switch to text view – most of the time the text view parser doesn’t include the first several paragraphs of the article and often trims off the end as well. Not sure why. This is a long term issue but I haven’t raised it until now.

I have previously reported that the NYT feed does not work in full view where it only shows a blank page. I’ve had to switch to split view, which requires one to click on each unread story. This only happened following the recent site update and has not been corrected. I have no such issue with any of my other feeds, so something strange is going on with the NYT feed that needs exploring.
Hi Sam,
The issue is that it doesn’t work consistently. Sometimes the Text view shows all the correct article text; most of the time it doesn’t. Two screenshots attached from the first article in the feed at the moment: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/22/briefing/europe-briefing.html?partner=rss&emc=rss.

Thanks, Ryan
