No, you're not. Reproducing an entire article is a violation of copyright law.
But I did not reproduce the entire article, I reproduced a couple of grafs,
which is permitted under the Fair Use exception to the copyright laws,
particularly in that its use was for editorial commentary and criticism.
Given the fact that I'm both a professional journalist and an editor, I'd
submit that I know a good deal more about copyright law than you do.
