I'm having the most success with "w3m".

e.g.,

Which (for me) gives output that would have been plausible news stories in approximately mid-2020.

I could curl the BBC RSS feed, which gave me a feed for Dec 2020. The stories were plausible and whilst the URLs looked realistic, they didn't actually exit.
