I’ll posit two things:
1) Bearing false witness is still one of the Big Ten, last I checked.
2) A lot of us are tired of seeing FR’s “News” section inundated with, and adulterated by, every random stream-of-consciousness contribution that someone posts to a some site or other that appears to look like an actual news site but is nothing more than a glorified blog. Associated Content, Examiner, “Business” Insider, and Market Oracle all come to mind.
It’s not a sin, it’s a matter if interpretation. And the observation of patterns. My interpretation fits with pattern of anti-Americanism displayed by google over the years. That is a pattern even most crescent-deniers recognize.
The fact is that I am very judicious about the sites I choose to post articles about here at FR, sites I come across regarding a story of interest often not suitable to be posted here due to what I find to be politically undesirable, having to search for alternative sources in which to post articles on these same issues.
In this case, I agree with you that the site linked to was less than optimum, should have been a bit more careful.
But the bottom line is,was that this story was given considerable coverage all throughout the internet, media and thus felt it deserved to be posted albeit at a site more deserved, authoritative to be linked to.
