Python Goose not able to extract mashable / usatoday / politicalwire articles

Question

I am using python goose extractor and its failing for every article on mashable.com and usatoday.com. Can someone suggest a fix for the problem?

For usatoday.com article:

g = Goose()
article = g.extract(url='http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/columnist/talkingtech/2014/01/25/namm-2014---ik-multimedias-rings-to-make-music/4863193/')
assert(article.cleaned_text=='')

For mashable article:

g = Goose()
article = g.extract(url='http://mashable.com/2014/01/26/square-cofounder-jim-mckelvey/')
assert(article.cleaned_text=='')

For politicalwire article:

g = Goose()
article = g.extract(url='http://politicalwire.com/archives/2014/01/27/some_republicans_go_off_script_in_sotu_response.html')
assert(article.cleaned_text=='')

I assume these are pretty important websites for text extraction. Can someone suggest a fix please? Thanks
