I'm not sticking up for any of these online news sources or anything, but I think it is a good idea to post a headline, perhaps a paragraph, and then a link back to the original article so the source (and all of their ads)can get a hit. Sure you can cry about it, but eventually if they don't get enough hits, it's bye-bye news source. Then what?

Just my 2 cents.

Hi Chong don't know if you've seen this. There is also a part one that's really worth reading too.

Nonsense. Posting one or two articles from their site does not impact their hits when they have dozens of other articles not of interest here plus sports, classified, movie schedules and you name it on their sites. In fact, with Freepers surfing all over the net for news to post here, this place drives their total hits up, not down.

This suit is political, not commercial. We made the Post and Times look very bad here by exposing their bias and shoddy journalism. That is what scares them, not losing hits on their web site.
