I am inclined to agree with your first request about not rewarding reporting like this with increased page rank. As such I won't re-add the link.

However, I'm having trouble understanding why a discussion about a portrayal of LW in the media isn't something worth discussing here.

"In early 2005, Google implemented a new value, "nofollow", for the rel attribute of HTML link and anchor elements, so that website developers and bloggers can make links that Google will not consider for the purposes of PageRank—they are links that no longer constitute a "vote" in the PageRank system."

I'm not sure how to use (or if it's even possible to use) "nofollow" with the markup here, though.

Because the article is moderately negative.

Done.

It would be nice if you removed yours now since you aren't able to use the attribute in your comment.
