I am sometimes amused by these "I found this news article" posts, which don't mention where they found it, and it is some cookie-cutter template thing.

Now, we do have a couple of posters here at DU who essentially use DU to clickbait their own re-hashed "news" sites, or "write stuff and get traffic" sites.

But what was amusing about this particular one is coming in with a claim that they weren't familiar with the source. Well, gollly, howdja find it?
