"We found this note on a Web site being pointed at by social media users"

Internet note posted by man linked to plane crash

Today, Joe Stack crashed a plane into the IRS. The Austin American-Statesman posted his "suicide note."

Editor’s note: We found this note on a Web site being pointed at by social media users. A search showed the domain that the note was posted on is registered to Joe Stack of San Marcos. A man by the same name, who has addresses in both Austin and San Marcos has been linked to today’s airplane crash.

But no links. Can we not be trusted to visit the sites ourselves? 

Ironically, this note wasn't posted as a normal article but as a "blog" post.

Context? What context? Why would we need that for?

I guess we need to call 411 to get the address.

Bus driver suspended for nightly coffee stop
An earlier post noted how CTV wrote a whole article based on a YouTube video without linking to it. The National Post pulled a similar stunt:

But finding that video is left as an exercise to the reader.
Ironically, when I went to copy the blurb, the site automatically added the following to my clipboard:

Surfaced on the Internet

TTC suspends driver who took unscheduled break

The TTC has suspended a bus driver after a video showing he took an unscheduled break surfaced on the Internet.

How does one get on this Internet?

Update: There's now a link to the video in the "web links" section
