          The whole point of my site is to lead people to the original. But you can always just share the URL of this page – the one you’re commenting on – if you like. Just copy/paste the URL from your address bar into Facebook. (OR just share the post from the NotAllNewsIsBad Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/notallnewsisbad/ )
