Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird News and Blogs - tried adding RSS URL feeds from "Google News" ( https://news.google.com/home?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en ) into News and Blogs via Account Settings / Manage Subscriptions. Example: Tried adding RSS feeds URL to News & Blogs from Google News about subject "Fishing" or "Weather".

However,

Expected results:

There is no problem importing and viewing RSS feeds from any sources other than Google News (example: BBC News). I can import and view Google News RSS feeds in standalone RSS readers as well as using RSS feed readers in Chrome browser extensions.

Actual results:

Thunderbird gives the error message on any RSS feeds from Google News "feed is unauthorized". Upgrade from version 102 to 115 Supernova did not help.

Expected results:

Should have been able to add URL of RSS feeds from Google News into "News and Blogs" without validation issues like other RSS feeds.
