Links to external sites and sources are still rare. And there seems no consistent pattern to when a link appears. Case in point, Jim Morrill mentions a National Enquirer story on John Edwards, links to it. Charles Chandler mentions a Cleveland Plain-Dealer story on DTs, does not link to it.
Maybe this was just an oversight. Maybe some reporters don’t know how to tag. But it should be clear that if the Uptown paper really believed in all the “community” this and “community” that stuff it spouts on a regular basis, its blogs and news stories would be link-rich across the board.
Too many newspaper people still don't understand linking and embedding. A few months ago I blogged about the News & Observer doing a story about a dramatic video from a plane crash -- but not linking to the video or embedding it.

Properly linking articles would be an utter embarrassment for them.
As almost every link would relate back to the DNC, kos, huffpost or the socialist AP.
Excuse me but that should be the "Soros AP."
Remember, our socialist friends at the AP do not understand or relate National Socialism to their brand. Never mind that they have decided to plug George's National brand.
Re: Edwards link- Andrew Young is shopping his book. I wonder if the liberal media outlets will invite him to reveal some juicy details, or ignore him for the Democrat’s sake?
“Another player in the John Edwards love child drama is speaking out, telling editors he feels betrayed by the once-friendly Edwards family. Campaign worker Andrew Young—who claimed to be the father of Rielle Hunter’s child and was paid to take her into his home for eight months—is shopping a tell-all book proposal dishing about the sex scandal.”

The NC media has worked overtime for years to protect Democrats from scandals. When they simply must cover the skanks, like Edwards, it is brief and runs for about a day. One can only hope the people are awakened to the harm these miserable scoundrels have done.
