Fix for BeautifulSoup Issue

Issue:
You passed `self.news.read` (a method) instead of calling it to get the content for BeautifulSoup.

Fix:
Call the method to get the content:

Before:
```python
xml = self.news.read # Incorrect
sp = BeautifulSoup(xml, parser)
```

After:
```python
xml = self.news.read() # Correct
sp = BeautifulSoup(xml, parser)
```

Improvement:
Check if `xml` is a string before passing it:
```python
xml = self.news.read()
if not isinstance(xml, str):
    raise TypeError("Expected a string for BeautifulSoup markup")
sp = BeautifulSoup(xml, parser)
```
