There are duplicates on the list of 4 breaking stories. They have the exact same title, too.
They also could be press releases, considering the same title was found for multiple articles over the past 30-45 minutes. The data pipeline currently removes duplicate titles, but only inside single batches. So, it could be a long sustained press release.. like propaganda.

- 12:15 Will there be a coronavirus relief bill with $1,200 checks?
- 12:30 Nigeria protesters break curfew amid gunfire, chaos in Lagos
- 12:30 Google antitrust case to turn on how search engine grew dominant

Trying to understand the content of an article is still really, really difficult, and error prone.
