    <…> it is the original source and was submitted there by the author <…>

    The same is true for the Truthout version. It was authorized by the author not just Mondoweiss.

      I disagree with your definition of original source. If AP writes an article, then Yahoo news takes that article and attributes it to the AP and links to the AP article, and publishes it, that yahoo news article does not become the original source the AP article is the origanal source.

      In the case we are discussing the Mondoweiss article is a full day older, I don’t understand where you are coming from. If you want to post the reprinted version that is fine, but you are not posting the original article when you post a reprinted version.
