perf(news): use direct API endpoint for get_item()

Replace O(n) fetch-all-and-filter approach with O(1) direct API call.
The News API v1-3 supports GET /items/{id} for single-item retrieval.

- Update get_item() to use direct endpoint
- Add unit test for get_item() method
- Fixes critical performance issue identified in code review
