Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the PinterestBridge MRSS URL and compare its generated output with the Flickr feed that Variety accepts, focusing on the media-related elements mentioned in the report. Trace the feed-generation path for these bridges; done means affected image-based MRSS feeds are correctly read by Variety and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
