The whole "pics (proof, implicit) or it didn't happen" standard is still in effect. You are not exempt. Your copy & pasting of content regardless of whether you think that the alleged greater effort deserves anything at all aside from critique and request for sources, is not deserving of any sort of pat on the back. You could be lying, and I will assume that you are on-sight provided that you lack sources, sources haven't been posted by another user, and you have an overall stuffty character on the matter of "news".
