I will add to this.
Plagiarism is being taken to an overboard, overblown situation with some news areas. Some people are taking what is posted and throwing in on it and making it look bad for all of us who view news. No, this has not happened here but it has been said and done and prosecuted in many places across the US and World.
Please site your source, and preferably, copy the posting with the writers name, time posted by them, etc. As well include the link address you have taken this from.
We do have many crawlers that cache our site in Google and many other areas over the www.

Its sad to say but I foresee a time as to where we will no longer be able to copy a newsworthy story that has been previously published. I hope I am wrong.
