And I disagree - its very common practice to C&P articles & AFAIK, copyright is OK as long as said article's source is credited, i.e, link included .
Speeding is also a common practice but that doesn't make it right.
Basically the Copyright Act 1994 forbids copying, then has 236 clauses to define the exceptions and how they are to be managed. When you do copy something, you need to know what clause is allowing you to take that action, or what permission the author has given you to make a copy.
I checked the news site you quote here and the main web pages says "all rights reserved" but when I looked through to their terms of service it seems that they are OK with articles being posted on social media. So I was wrong on this one. My apologies. But then I also checked a few other news sites and found that for some, either the action wasn't covered, or it was specifically forbidden.
In general practice, the usual standard for anything is to post the link so that those who are entitled to see the article can do so, and those who aren't can't, eg if it is behind a paywall. A short passage with discussion is acceptable - eg post the link then say "The article says "[quoted sentence]" which I agree/disagree with because ....". Or whatever other introduction/comment is appropriate to get people interested in reading it.
That then covers you.
