/**
* News Article Source Fetcher
*
* This script is designed to extract the content of news articles from various French media sources.
* The URLs of these articles are retrieved from the `base_news` table, where articles marked with
* a `step` value of '0' are pending extraction.
*
* Once extracted, the content of each article is saved locally for further processing. This separation
* of content fetching and processing is intentional to optimize resource management.
*
* The script operates in batches, processing a defined number of entries (`NB_BY_STEP`) at a time.
* After extraction, the `step` value of the processed articles is updated to '1' to indicate completion.
*
* For performance monitoring, the script outputs the processed article IDs, URLs, and calculates the average
* processing time per article.
