yeah. he also said that before justice scalia died (he insinuated it was him) he was told that congress was going to try to make it illegal to use links- because drudge has too much influence and power in driving the news cycle. http://www.drudgereport.com/
also, alot of websites from all stripes do it, they usually post a few paragraphs, or maybe a quarter of the article then it says click here for the rest of the story, which takes you to the content owners website. in those cases, it may or may not be from people they've gotten permission from first. if you don't have permission, then paraphrasing it and then linking to it is fine, or fair use if you are commenting or critiquing, ect.
I think the problems come in when you post something pretending it is yours, with no links to the creator.
Facebook, thats all i do is post news links or screenshots and attach my rants or opinions or critiques on it. Twitter does this as well... social media is all about sharing links and videos.
You tube copyrights come in when you upoad a video on your own channel and reframe it as though it is yours, or playing their stuff for longer than a minute or so...
