CNN oneboxing failure

Over on another Discourse forum, @sam suggested I make a bug report here: There seems to be (at least) intermittent failure of oneboxing of CNN articles. Since this is a high-profile site, it seems pretty significant. Unclear whether it’s a rate-limiting issue, a user-agent block, a Discourse-side issue, an actual problem with the oEmbed data, or what.

Examples:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/18/politics/taylor-swift-maga-popular/index.html

(Additional examples removed due to New Userness.)

Hi @wazroth :wave: welcome to Meta. :slight_smile: Thanks for the report.

Yea I have been able to repro this on my dev instance and a hosted site. CNN links not oneboxing at all.
