Look, it's really too simple to be worth arguing over. Every news story starts with a lead paragraph that give the essential facts the article will discuss. All one needs to do is write one's own intro, saying somehting like, "Wow, I heard this thing that really [insert feeling of choice here] me because [describe why you care about the topic, BRIEFLY].... Then you paste in the article's lead paragraph.
Then you say: Here [insert link] is where you can read all about it. What do YOU think about the [issue, story, fact, opinion] there?"
It's a matter of social skills and how to start a conversation or even, if that's what you want to do, an argument. Would you walk into a room and, with no preamble, start reading an article out loud, or would you say, "Look at this!" and explain what you are about to read, to get someone's willing attention and to have a conversation about it?
