So if I read you correctly, you are saying that liberals have a habit of
quoting the entire article, whereas conservatives don't. Sorry, but I
don't buy it. You can say WIRT has a habit of quoting the entire article -

a bit much. It's like saying that all conservatives have a habit of
overgeneralizing 8^).
