Against a sea of troubles ...

... AP Throws A Tantrum (But Tantrums Do Not A Successful Business Model Make). (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I will say that it does seem to me that sites like Huffington have been crossing a line in recent months. Their excerpts are now often so long that there's no reason to click the link to see the original story. This does seem like they're appropriating stories in a way that offers no benefit to the source. As a daily user of the site, I find the long excerpts annoying (I'd prefer to see the complete original).
