Does archive.is have problems? I tried this article with it and it didn't work:

  Avoid those archive sites like the plague. They are not trustworthy.

    They are the only reliable way for me to read proper news in Economist / FT / WSJ / WashingtonPost etc...
    Well except paying $300 a month I guess.

    Except you cannot know if the system has tampered with the content you think is genuinely from those sites.

    Fucking sucks, what's the alternative for people without money or people who the papers/businesses don't allow them to do subscribe because of the country they're from/in?

    Use sources such as PBS, NPR, etc. - they are available globally, and there are non-US-based sources if readers prefer.

    Tried searching for the submission article or even a mention of this event on their websites but I found nothing. Are you sure these are actually faithful replacements of everything that archive.is/.today unlocks for people? It's a lot of paywalls they remove, lots of stuff isn't reported elsewhere.
