With a "originally from bob's news" in there, it is pretty much a reasonable use. Some may suggest that the whole article shouldn't be reproduced but rather an excerpt, but at this point, nobody has proven that point in the digital era.

It isn't clear, so it isn't something you would want to base a business plan on.

Encouraging a discussion from an article from another source, giving full credits to its author,
and obtaining a profit from other sources and means of the same page,
but not a red cent from the article in discussion, this should be legal? right?
In the same relation of a TV or Radio Station going into commercials.
Its profits is made from the sponsors advertisement, but not from the actual article itself.
