Useless shmuseless?

I was wondering why the newsfeed taking the truth and lies from West Yorkshire's Spineless wasn't resulting in any new lies (or less likely truths!). Eventually I took a look and discovered that during the first half of april they'd been dating all their RSS feeds as 2009 .... so new items actually appeared to be older than those. Looks like the civilians they employ are selected for terminal stupidity as well as the plod/plastic plod.
