If we can't quote or even refer to them (as Gannett has done to FreeRepublic; you can't even cite 'em), then our ability to pick them apart is limited. Since AP, Reuters, and a few others currently have a virtual viewpoint monopoly on original content, they would get their take heard and first and foremost with minimal challenge. Horsecrap. dscott, good points. If we can’t quote or even refer to them (as Gannett has done to FreeRepublic; you can’t even cite ‘em), then our ability to pick them apart is limited.

Oh, I think they get it, what they are really worrying about is the aggregation promotes non sole source reading of the news. In order for a bias to be effective, the reader must only get their information consistently from one source, otherwise reading a few articles on the same subject from multiple sources exposes the multiple directions/angles in which one can view a subject. A well rounded person knows there is always three sides to a coin which includes the edge. Tom, on your post More evidence that the press doesn’t get fair use.
