Robert Scheer: 'White House's cynical ploy: 'Misspeak' first, correct it later' Tuesday, September 16, 2003

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/article.php?sid=12972

The Smirking Chimp has a fairly complete Robert Scheer archive (full article) for the last several years.

The Smirkiing Chimp used to post articles from the Washington Post, but the Posties warned them off, for form's sake.

Now the Chimpsters just post the WP articles from other papers and pretend that the WP staff writers & columnists work for those papers:

E.J. Dionne Jr.: 'Ninth Circuit makes its point' Friday, September 19, 2003

http://www.smirkingchimp.com/article.php?sid=13017&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

By E.J. Dionne Jr., San Francisco Chronicle

I wonder when Dionne quit the Washington Post Writers Group and moved to San Francisco? :-)

The LA Times hasn't, it doesn't and it will not. To do so it runs the risk of a continuing wavier of its rights to enforce their copyrighted materials. Perhaps you could offer some examples, even one will suffice.

Oops! ;-)

You won't find one because it doesn't exist-----other than in the minds of those who hate the newspaper.

That's news to me.

Actually, I used to keep track of dozens for a couple of years, until I became bored. The Chimpsters actually posted the FR decision way back when, but apparently it doesn't apply to them. ;-)

I'd bet a dollar to a cake donut that everything to which you refer has a license or reciprocal agreement for cross publication or ad hoc waiver. Excerpts, as part of a fair-use exception, are the norm. Republishing the entire piece removes the holder from the benefits associated with a reader who wants whole piece picking up the publication and seeing the ads....It's a economic matter as well as a creative protective device.
