Sometimes I want to make a bot that just posts news stories about police with the added link to the matching press release from the relevant police department

I wonder whether police media liaison officers take it personally when their press releases get edited for style.

Posting news stories that are just police press releases would be so high volume it would feel like spam… perhaps a better bot would be posting news about police that does NOT appear to have a matching press release from the cops.
E.g., no press release from VicPD about their deputy chief retiring on Monday, one day after someone leaked his text messages colluding with the Deputy Minister of Education to depose the local school board.
