      Well, this is the default NY Times url, which is somewhat different from the url you posted above.
      http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml

      {
      		module: "newsfeed",
      		position: "bottom_bar",
      		config: {
      			feeds: [
      				{
      					title: "New York Times",
      					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
      				}
      				],
      				showSourceTitle: true,
      				showPublishDate: true
      			}
      		},

        @Mykle1 if you follow the link, the URL changes and I copied that one. I tried both the default one and the one posted and both didnt work at all.

          Im not sure if this is important or not. Im on nodejs version 0.10.29 (stable). There is a more current version but for some reason its not updating to it. Im not sure if thats the issue.\

            I FIGURED IT OUT, nodejs had to at least 0.10.40 to work with the modules, had to follow this post to force update it https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/48303/install-nodejs-for-all-raspberry-pi

              @vindoan Hi thanks for your help, to upgrading to the latest nodejs solved it.
              I have a jessie box so i upgraded a different way what you linked for the Pi.

              So here it is if using a linux box instead of Pi

              sudo npm cache clean -f /cleanup the package
              sudo npm install -g n /you’ll need npm’s n module
              sudo n stable
              node -v /you should have the latest nodejs
