I don't think Jag meant "newsfeed" in the Usenet sense, which is what it's always meant here on The Cellar (one of the important draws this place had in the BBS days was it's USENET newsfeed.)

I think he's talking about the commercial news wire services, as used to be delivered via teletype. Hence Reuters, AP.
