Needless to say, Wells Fargo has pretty much been filling its own page in ways that no other company has been able (with the exception of Uber): https://suitocracy.com/company/wells-fargo
Seeing it all laid out like that really makes me wonder how it still gets by with so few consequences.
Too big to fail. Check out the book "Chickenshit Club" if you want to see how this has all evolved since Enron and Arthur Andersen. The Justice Department is frequently paralyzed by politics and fear of causing economic harm to the country. Plus, several changes in legal precedents have made it much more difficult to prosecute companies and their executives.

I'm no longer a moral fan of his, sorry to say. I know he goes on record as saying he "pays less in tax than his secretary" (not an exact quote) but I think that's just a smart tactic to avoid public critique of his actions (and instead distract with nice words).

Ah, see, there's where our POVs differ. My tack is that we've been "almost there" on things like speech and hand writing recognition for twenty years or so, and I wouldn't say we're "there" enough that I'd want a comparably competent system driving my car down the road. Adding to that is that from what I'm reading we're not to the level of, say, Alexa yet for SDCs. OTOH, you make good points about the rates of progress in neural nets, so perhaps I'm wrong. Experience says that I'm just as wrong in one direction as the rest of the industry is wrong in the other, and reality will end up somewhere in the middle. So let's check back in ten years. :-)

Can I ask where you scrape them from? (Google News?) Is it possible to scrape past headlines from somewhere too, or do you just have to keep up with it every day?
For past news the only one I have been able to use is The Guardian's API, which is free for non-profits such as my Suitocracy project. It's... not great, but it's something. A start.
It's... not a sophisticated system. It misses some major stories, gives me a few false positives, and of course lots of duplicates from differing sources.
But compared to what I had before (basically, nothing) it's a million times better.
