The difference, again.
To me there is a big difference between citing an entire, unfiltered, unedited blog and
one op-ed piece.
And quoting an exerpt of that op-ed piece in the post so as to give the reader an idea of the purpose of the post.
Some folks write catchy subject lines and then cite an entire blog. The whole thing. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of words.
And, maybe a thousand, if one read the entire, single article. The one op-ed piece. Everything cited.
This is so simple either you don't know that to which your citations lead or you're being deliberately obtuse.
