recommend testing "your news article" in search engines, e.g.:

(using Tor Browser 13.5.4)
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=your+news+article

>The New York Times - Breaking News, US News, World News and Videos

etcetera...then test some search result links to see if they'll open
in whatever browser(s) you may be using (usually some links do work)

if "your news article" is mainstream (e.g. politics "breaking news"),
then odds are many dozens of different websites will be carrying the
same story and in many languages, hence point of view (two sides of
the same coin), protagonists and antagonists ... they're all united
(for every action, there is an equal and opposite action altogether)
