1. To use and pass off (the ideas or writings of another) as one’s own.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you can see quoting and clearly attributing a chuck of text is not plagiarizing.
\nWhat I’m doing isn’t any different from what most of the bloggers on both the left and the right are doing. I quote a story and give my opinion. I try to quote as little as possible to get the gist of the story and then I link to it so you guys can read it in context. Then you guys excoriate me for having the audacity to give that opinion on this blog and for even having that opinion to begin with and then you tell me why I’m wrong. It’s actually a mutually beneficial relationship for everyone, we get to voice our opinions and the news source gets more readers. It’s a win-win for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
