I always do = some don't like it? Let me know.
My format is typically headline in red, dateline in italics, lede in bold, body of article with (too long) if needed, and URL. If there is a photo, I add that as well. If it is from a Twatter post, I cap that and then show the entire article.
Copy that, full steam ahead.

RAEFORD, N.C. — A Hoke County man was arrested by the FBI and was charged with 332 sex crimes. He was being held under a $20 million bond in North Carolina.
On August 7, Hoke County detectives responded to the 1000 block of Fairfield Circle in Raeford for a report of a juvenile sexual assault. Someone alerted the authorities to the possible assault, according to Hoke County Sheriff Hubert Peterkin.
After an investigation, Hoke County officials said that 156 warrants were obtained regarding Joshuah Taylor Bradshaw.
Bradshaw fled North Carolina, according to officials. He was arrested by the FBI in Etta, Mississippi and extradited back to Raeford.
Bradshaw is charged with:
12 counts of indecent liberties with children
12 counts of first degree sexual exploitation of a minor
144 counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor
144 counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor

Campbell: It’s a QAnon, cancel culture, year of confusion
Published 1:41 pm EDT, Sunday, September 20, 2020
article excerpt re Q *
The lies don’t end there. See if you can name the conspiracy theory not embraced by QAnon:
5G networks are being used to spread COVID-19.
Oregon wildfires were started by liberals.
Cabal members meet in tunnels beneath the country to rape and torture children.
People who drive blue Tauruses are the Devil’s own minions.
That’s a tough quiz and you’re excused if you fail it. The correct wrong answer is the last one. I made that one up, and I apologize in advance to all Taurus owners if that starts circulating as truth.
Sen. Berthel said he doesn’t support the group’s “wild-eyed” conspiracy theories, but he said he likes the group’s stance against government corruption. The nosebleed one would get from such a leap of logic could be fatal, and I hope he’s OK.
The FBI says QAnon is a pack of “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists.” In July, “The Forward,” formerly “The Jewish Daily Forward,” asked not if, but how anti-Semitic is QAnon. (Spoiler alert? Any measure of anti-Semitism is not OK.) Vice president Mike Pence recently canceled an appearance at a Montana fundraiser hosted by what appears to be QAnon supporters.
But 2020 is a year of confusion. The Tweeter-in-Chief, no stranger to ridiculous conspiracies, loves him some QAnon — mostly because, he says, they like him.

Exactly, and this format is really good for archiving so ppl don't have to click through to the link to read the article. Most of these sites are a bear to get though with the notices and whatnot. Any anytime my wrist gets a break from that mouse I thank you!

Six accused of starting Oregon blazes amid devastating wildfire season
September 20, 2020 | 1:21pm | Updated
At least six men in Oregon have been accused of intentionally setting blazes during the state’s devastating wildfire season, according to a report.
There is no evidence that the suspects were motivated by politics, despite conspiracies that such an animus has fueled the fires that have burned more than a million acres, OregonLive reported.
Instead, some of the blazes were attributed to petty beef, relationship troubles and enjoying the “smell of smoke,” officials said.
One of the alleged arsonists, Jedediah Ezekiel Fulton, 39, was discovered setting fires July 28 in the woods outside Glide after he became upset with a member of a local forest protection organization, the outlet reported.
“Jedediah was mad because the guy from (the Douglas Forest Protection Association) would not help him and not give him a ride to town,” authorities wrote in a probable cause affidavit.
Then, Elias Newton Pendergrass, 44, was busted in connection with the Sweet Creek Fires on Aug. 30 after threatening to burn down the town of Mapletown if his girlfriend broke up with him, the outlet reported.
Others appear to have troubled backgrounds.
Jonathan Wayne Maas, 44, was busted for starting a blaze Sept. 9 near a disc golf course in Dexter, about 20 miles from the Holiday Farm fire that has spread to 170,000 acres.
Maas — whose rap sheet includes convictions for forgery, burglary and firearm possession – confessed to authorities that he tossed a flare into a forested area in the hopes of starting a fire, the outlet reported.
Then two days later, 53-year-old Samuel Piatt, who is homeless, told officers that he “likes the smell of smoke” when he was busted for lighting a large pile of leaves in Oregon City, the report said.
Another homeless man, Domingo Lopez Jr., 45, was accused of going on a 12-hour spree that began Sept. 13 in which he set multiple brush fires along Interstate 2015 in Portland, the outlet reported.
He admitted to the fires and was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation, authorities said.
Glenn Corbett, a professor of fire science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said the wildfire coverage could be motivating those with incendiary tendencies to commit the crimes.
“All that people are talking about right now is these fires, it’s on TV and in the newspapers,” Glenn told the outlet. “I would imagine this could be sort of a motivator for people who had those types of tendencies to begin with. It can certainly move them to becoming a participant.”
