Shows a propensity for posting from a single source and a single “author”.
Also a tendency to post as “news”, and in excerpted form.
I’m thinking serial blogpimp here.
Self-promoting and shameless.
Hmmm, yes, it looks that way. Now, if only the story were not interesting and important, I guess you might have a point. But since the content happens to beat hollow the usual state-run blather that's posted here and whined about, I'd say you don't have a point.
I think it's a waste of time to strain out a gnat and swallow a camel in cases like this. This story actually contains important news. With all due respect for law and order, this "shameless" story contributed a lot more to my FR reading experience than your finger-wagging post about it. For "pimp" alerts, please save your powder for the bores.
