Parsing XML using PullParser

I am trying to parse an XML file using PullParser but I am not doing something right. I want to grab a few of the fields and store them in an object and then store that object in an ArrayList. I think it may be a logic issue with how I am determining which tags to pull text from but I cannot seem to figure it out.

The XML has two <title> tags that needs to be ignored and one <description> tag that needs to be ignored in the top of the file and I think this may be at least part of my issue.

The link to the XML:

 while(event != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT){

            switch(event){
            case XmlPullParser.START_TAG:
                if(parser.getName().equals("title") && !parser.nextText().trim().contains("BBC News -")){                   
                        newsItem = new NewsItems();
                        newsItem.setTitle(parser.nextText().trim());
                        Log.d("Title", newsItem.getTitle());
                }else if(parser.getName().equals("description") && !parser.nextText().trim().contains("The latest stories")){
                        newsItem.setDescritpion(parser.nextText().trim());
                        Log.d("description", parser.nextText().trim());
                }else if(parser.getName().equals("pubDate")){
                    newsItem.setPubDate(parser.nextText().trim());
                }else if(parser.getName().equals("media:thumbnail")){
                    if(parser.getAttributeValue(null, "width").equals("66")){
                        newsItem.setThmnSmall(parser.getAttributeValue(null, "url").trim());
                        Log.d("small thumbnail", parser.getAttributeValue(null, "url").trim());
                    }   
                }else if(parser.getName().equals("media:thumbnail")){
                    if(parser.getAttributeValue(null, "width").equals("144")){

                    }       
                }

                break;
            case XmlPullParser.END_TAG:
                if(parser.getName().equals("title")){

                    newsItem = null;
                }

            default:
                break;
            }
