Contra Costa news has obfuscated URLs

[Mr0grog]

Some news items in Contra Costa are coming through with obfuscated URLs like:

{
  "id": "https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/PZXjV4tFFdA__;!!LFxATBw!R57VawoklPt_lKiaxV8GyPBZz3SVfJ-u4jcwWzvx-x6ltcNKyKswx1dx4suE$",
  "url": "https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://youtu.be/PZXjV4tFFdA__;!!LFxATBw!R57VawoklPt_lKiaxV8GyPBZz3SVfJ-u4jcwWzvx-x6ltcNKyKswx1dx4suE$",
  "title": "Video:\u00a0Update on COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution",
  "date_published": "2021-01-15T00:00:00-08:00"
}

It might be good to check any URLs that aren’t under the cchealth.org or contracosta.ca.gov domains and, if they are redirects, substitute the redirect target for the original URL we had. So, for example, the example item above would wind up with the URL https://youtu.be/PZXjV4tFFdA.

Nice to have here: while we’re at it, we could add a youtube or video tag to news items that link to YouTube.
