It is all too common in this forum for entire news stories to be posted. Sometimes with a URL to the original article, sometimes without. People seem to think that this falls under the "fair use" provision of the copyright laws. It really doesn't when the entire article is posted.
These are almost certainly copyright vioations. It is also taking advertising revenue from the different news organizations.
Better form to to quote one paragraph (typically the lead paragraph) and providing the link to the main article.
If you disagree, please tell me why posting the entire, copyrighted story (often including the copyright notice) is OK.
