There's a big difference between the two sites you listed and the type that Cuban listed and is referring to.
Hacker News and Reddit both link directly to the actual source material and only show a title and a short description of the post.
The Drudge Report doesn't do it as badly, but Newser actually rips off most/entire article on their site leaving no reason to go to the actual material.
The only one benefiting from that relationship is Newser.

This extremism seems silly - the sites could do click-through ads which generate revenue for any deep links, also a few lines code - and growing number of sites do this.
