This looks like original reporting by Buzz Feed News, so linking to Buzz Feed News would seem to be the right choice.

Listicle Buzz Feed ≠ Buzz Feed News.

Drudge has been doing this kind of linking for a while – rather than linking to WaPost, for example, he links to greenwichtime.com, which prints WaPost articles.

Fair enough. My fault for not knowing the difference between the two sites.

I honestly don’t know why they didn’t do a rebrand for their hard news division. Neither of the sites benefits from being associated with the other.

I assumed greenwichtime.com carried WaPo content

Also thought dnyuz was some new nyt operation
