Is there only one page?

Nice, but I wish they opted for an RSS feed instead.

Can't most readers parse a feed like this into one? I think they also have RSS but I don't actually read much CNN

I like this much more. Reminds me of a slightly simpler time.

I don't know if it was intended to be public? A... contact... emailed it to me.

I got the impression they did... that... because I found NPR's equivalent (text.npr.org) after I ran a tool that tries every word in the dictionary as a possible subdomain.[1]

(One of their former interns went on to be a spy in the one of the local FFRDCs apparently? There should be a dichotomy between those in the media and those doing intelligence/"defense" work IMHO.)
