This feed isn't a valid RSS feed. Presumably most pertinently, though the validator doens't point this out, the contents of the <link> tags are wrapped in <![CDATA[ markup—which is only intended for use in <description> content, I believe? The feed also wraps title elements in the same markup.

If so, this is probably NNW displaying works-as-intended behavior, as the feed doesn't contain valid URLs?

It would be possible, of course, to strip the CDATA markup from around links... would that actually be desirable?

The CDATA sections should be fine. I don’t know what the problem is here — I suspect a bug in our RSS parser.

There is no url being stored for each article in the database for this feed when it's a local account. (When it's coming via Feedbin it seems ok.)

Right. It is probably a parser bug.
