I'm inclined to agree, tossing in the poster's spin tends to drive the topic, often to odd places rather than the actual thing.
At the same time links to pages without any context as to why leaves me wondering why I should be looking at this page. Particularly product pages that are not easy to parse what the point is sometimes.
Say Google makes a significant change to their ToS. If you link to the ToS, the title will be "Google ToS". So instead you are left with the option of linking to a Guardian/buzzfeed/wired blog post that is mostly fluff, doesn't include the actual ToS text in context, and has a hyperbolic headline. Which article you chose to post determines the spin.
