In GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.30, cairo version 1.17.4)
 of 2021-09-20 built on lilydjwg
Repository revision: 3c513435369826e44a53dcb12ecc14657e03c73d
Repository branch: master
Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.12013000
System Description: Arch Linux

It can be reproduced in emacs -Q using the following snippet.

#+begin_src elisp
(setq newsticker-retrieval-method 'extern)
(setq newsticker-url-list-defaults nil)
(setq newsticker-url-list '(("Planet Emacslife" "https://planet.emacslife.com/atom.xml")
                            ("LWN (Linux Weekly News)" "https://lwn.net/headlines/rss")))

(newsticker-show-news)
#+end_src

Then press G to fetch all feeds in LWN and Emacs planet, but nothing is
displayed in the right window.

newsticker uses

wget -q -O - https://planet.emacslife.com/atom.xml

under the hood, and wget exits with 0. All observed by `bcc execsnoop'
and `bcc exitsnoop'.

I don't use Newsticker, so I don't know what it usually looks like, but
following your recipe I get the following display:

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 228 bytes --]


Which certainly isn't empty.  So I'm unable to reproduce the problem.

Are any further steps necessary to observe the bug?

After revisiting the output content by wget, I found that's a wget bug.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2021-09/msg00010.html

wget prints "SSL_INIT" even in quiet mode (-q), so that newsticker
failed to parse.

Sorry to bother you, silly me.

No problem.  :-)  I'm closing this bug report, then.
