Try googling why cant I cut and paste?
I take it you’re not a view source kinda guy...
Try printing the article but select the PSF option. This should create a file you can open in any free PDF viewer and then copy at your leisure.
Alternatively depending on your browser of choice their may be a plug-in for that but those are hit or miss and sometimes more trouble than their worth.
Oh yeah you can always just manually retype the words.
Provide us an article where you are having that issue so others can test and see if we experience the same issue. If we do then the site is somehow able to prevent copy & paste, otherwise, the issue is with either you or your computer.
I think it may be a browser setting because I can cut and paste from Breitbart. What kind of computer are you using and which browser?

I can cut and paste from Breitbart, also.
I did this morning have trouble cut and pasting from an old email of my own to resend to someone else.

Try highlighting the text BACKWARDS, from end to beginning.
This sometimes works....................
I open my notebook and click select all then copy and paste from that.
I find that if I hit the PRINT button, it often opens a plain formatted text document that can be cut and pasted easily.
will not let me highlight text, let alone copy/paste article. Most recently Briebart now does this.
Paste, like with glue?
Try opening the page in a different browser, sometimes that works.
