I don’t see anything wrong with the way you’ve posted the article, as I see it, any editing or highlighting which serves to strip the bark off the late Fat Bastard and reveal his hypocrisy is a good thing.
It comes down to copyright issues.
But my edits don’t really affect Kennedy so much.
They highlight the media’s propaganda, or as you typed, they ‘strip the bark off the bastards in the press and reveal their hypocrisy’.
As a rule of thumb, when you make changes to a citation, you should show additions in square brackets [an example of added text], indicate deletions with ellipses ... (three dots exactly) and note where you have added emphasis with the remark "(emphasis added)" in parenthesis after the added emphasis, whether made by change of font style (italics) or weight (bold). If you alter anything at all, it's good to add "(emphasis in the original)", where appropriate. A citation (a url, as in this case) is always an absolute necessity when citing someone else. A pointer to a book (page number and edition) or magazine article is sufficient.
It is never acceptable to modify a quote or take it out of context to make a point.
