EFF Takes Aim at Bogus Online Gaming Patent

I hadn't noticed that this was a pass-through item. Some LWN announcements are apparently
passed through, headline and all, others are cited with an LWN introduction and headline
(Which here presumably would have been something like The EFF *announced* that...", where the
"announced would have been a link). The only way I noticed to distinguish them is a
"Comments:" at the bottom of ledes for cited items, versus "Full story:" on pass-throughs.

I respect LWN's work, especially Jon's, a lot. On this particular aspect I think LWN would be
improved if there were some clear indication in the story and headline when an item is a
pass-through - like putting the source's name in the headline, e.g., "EFF: EFF takes aim
at...", or even just putting quotation marks around the headline to indicate it's a quoted
title. The current method seems to create an opportunity for people issuing news releases to
game LWN into appearing to take an opinion in their headlines.
