trivial processing power but news organizations tend to want traffic on their websites where you can see ads and click on them and other content. Not sure for how long they will even support RSS let alone make an effort to support websockets. They begrudgingly push stuff into social media only because it significantly pushes traffic to their sites.

> Not sure for how long they will even support RSS

Many don't. Examples I tried recently include:

The Telegraph (dead link from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/follow-us/ and feeds available for some sections at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/{section}/rss.xml - not e.g. politics)

The Times had links available with comically out of date (years) feeds - I can't find the page now, so maybe they did respond to my tweet in a way... although not quite I'd hoped for if so!
