1) What is this ?

RSS is a free service offered by CNN for non-commercial use, offers feeds of story headlines in XML format ("RSS Content") to visitors to CNN.com (the "CNN Site") who use RSS aggregators. These Terms of Use govern your use of the RSS service. The use of the RSS service also is subject to the terms and conditions of the CNN Interactive Service Agreement, which governs the use of CNN's websites, information services and content.  
 
The RSS service may be used only with those platforms from which a functional link is made available that, when accessed, takes the viewer directly to the display of the full article on the CNN Site. You may not display the RSS Content in a manner that does not permit successful linking to, redirection to or delivery of the applicable CNN Site web page. You may not insert any intermediate page, splash page or other content between the RSS link and the applicable CNN Site web page.
