  Does Slate really count as 'blogspam', especially when the very first line credits the original appearance? (Of course, that qualitative judgement aside, I agree that it is better to link to the original.)

    I'd argue that, these days, yes Slate counts as "blogspam." Autoplaying video ads, pop-up adverts, banners everywhere, and a copy/pasted article that is 1/2th the length of the original with no additional commentary or content. Slate might have been a legitimate publication once, but then again so was CNet and look how far they have fallen. Sorry, but Slate should be blacklisted for being junk now.
