[grc] Question about reading articles on air

[Lanny Cotler]

Only a thought, I am not a legal expert.

Reading a short article or a part of it, to make a point, could be journalism, reporting, reviewing, which is covered by “fair use”. 

I don’t need to get the permission of the NYT to quote from their pages.

Just sayin’…
