Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with the provided CNN URL and compare the library's extracted image divs with Firefox Reader mode. Trace the image extraction behavior responsible for the data:image/gif source, and consider the issue done when the library returns usable image sources for the affected page without regressing other image handling.
