This would be awesome. I'm not sure how web scraping works. What I wouldn't want to do is just return the top results which would probably be their website, and socials, which we already have links to. We would need to make sure that only new stories are returned. If we selected only certain sources to scrape then that would solve that problem. We would have to have a fairly wide range of sources though to make sure we returned balanced information. Big chunk of the middle. Nothing super far left or right
This is probably something that should be done on the backend, and there would need to be both front end and backend tickets for this work
If an elected official is clicked, we could do some webscrapping to find latest news online. Or to make it easier we could just web scrape a couple of big online newspapers, or only add the option to webscrape news regarding the president
