Opening it in Chrome (or with curl...) I got a (HTML) redirect to https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/12/27/coast-to-c...

Thx, but doesn't that indicate that it's not a deep link, but a simple redirect that Apple refuses to give to me when I use their default browser—instead giving me something else?

And it's worth noting that simply clicking that link gives me the following alert:

>Restore "News"? > >You followed a link that requires the app "News", which is no longer on your iPhone. You can restore it from the App Store.

The two choices I'm given are "Show in App Store" or "Cancel"

Apple clearly tells me that it is impossible for me to view this webpage unless I install their News app. This is clearly false, technically, and I knew it. But I literally hadn't figured out how to view it until somebody mentioned trying copying and pasting the url into another browser.
