The ONLY way the feed will work in wordpress is if the sponsor wrote the entire post, with the photo, and parsed link, for the webmaster. Even if I have description tags, a thumbnail tag, links, ect.. wordpress will ignore all the fields, other than that description tag.
Webmasters have no room to complain. First, you yell at us for the feeds, then yell at us fully populate every field in the feed, yet you never take the time to learn how to properly use the feeds yourself.
Learn how to properly use the technology, then you can complain.

Wordpress is doing exactly what it should be doing, ignoring those
tags that are invalid in the RSS specification... wordpress will read description, or content:encoded, choosing the prior first... It will not
read in automatically the other parts, however if you edit it, they will be
there, but perhaps borken if not in a correct Namespace.
