Richnorth, Yes i agree that a "Give the news in full and the link as well." answers the invalid url issue when addressed as a problem that needs a solution. Since we all have that real life issue of the Middle East in full view to us, and yes it depends on where one has the viewing done, one person's solution is another's problem, like each side in this conflict. Here i'am not expressing an opinion, but just an observation, one that simply amazed me in that this ABC/CBS/NBC nightly news program seemed to take sides in the Middle East conflict rather than just report the facts, and its not the facts they report but the manner in which these mainstream news companies have the appearance... golly this is an extremely not nice topic so rather than give that example today which i felt crossed the line from a correct objective news report to one that could have been written by a military spokesperson for the Israel Military. Sorry, but it really piss'ed me off knowing that mainstream USA press will present to World Opinion a message that American's are reflected in this bias manner, as obtained from the manner mainstream press in America as being free and clear and open and etc and to represent the best example in the world today can label the American system of freedom as justice for all where all are equal and innocent until proven guilty, to take sides and declare guilt as fact. rather than reporting just facts. At tghe top of this post i said "... the invalid url issue when addressed as a problem that needs a solution." i was to say that a total copy is great for those 1 in 10 that want to read the article, but for those 9 out of 10 that do not it's an annoyance when doing a View Next 10 and they have to page downwards into what seems lika a hell hole :o) to get to the next post, which may be another hell hole type full text.
