Review comment (suggestion):
I'd break this line up

also, it's not really json anymore at this point, I'd just name it `blocks`
```suggestion
        blocks_json = traverse_obj(article_json, (
            'sprinkledBody', 'content', ..., ('ledeMedia', None),
            lambda _, v: v['__typename'] in ('Video', 'Audio')))
```
