Phasing an error filled rss feed ...

    I am attempting to phase an ill formed rss feed. Actually a couple of them. They don't validate via the w3 validator and I don't have the power/control to make them validate. I am stuck with them.

    I am using PHP to attempt to phase them.

    So far I have already tried:
    simpleXML
    xmlReader
    magpierss

    None of them can phase the rss feed.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    The feeds are:
    http://blink-cms.bethel.edu/channels/news-events/bethel-news-viewer/rss.xml
    http://www.bethel.edu/news/bu-news/rss.xml
    http://www.bethel.edu/e-news/rss.xml

    Thanks in advance for you wisdom and knowledge.

    for offline reading the errors some of the feeds listed is UNimportant
    feeds are made for offline reading above all

    reuse on a web site is commercial use and usually does require either a permission or a commercial license from original creator of feed unless it is published on the .edu site you list above that their feeds may be republished on any web site

    however you solve your legal issue - it is common to CACHE feeds republished
    else you use/abuse the server capacity of the feed content creators in addition to possible copyright legal issues
    there are SW out there to do proper caching and offer CSS and templates that might help you doing your job.
    example:
