I was reading this story (https://www.rawstory[.]com/trump-2676869375/), and noticed this:

Informally known as the “Doomsday Book,” Taylor explained that the secret book is secured in a location “known to only a handful of people,” and was created under the Eisenhower administration “to keep the country running if Washington was destroyed in a nuclear strike.”

The words "Doomsday Book" are linked to...
https://archive[.]is/o/MBaLl/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/06/it-will-be-a-revenge-machine-why-a-second-trump-administration-would-be-much-worse

That Vanity Fair article is linked in the iNews article which Raw Story's piece is based off of.
So, what this means is that the author of the Raw Story article used archive.today to read the iNews piece.

We actually can confirm this.
If we break down the URL, it has these parts:
https://archive.is/o/[id of archived page]/[URL on archived page]

archive.today modifies all the links on archived pages to go through this redirect.

So the URL on the archived page is https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/06/it-will-be-a-revenge-machine-why-a-second-trump-administration-would-be-much-worse

And the archived page containing that URL is https://archive[.]is/MBaLl

Which is the iNews article. And the iNews article has a paywall.

So, journalists are using archive.today to bypass paywalls on other news websites.

Here is an archived copy of the article before it gets fixed: https://web.archive.org/web/20260508150858/https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2676869375/
