Fair use can include up to 100% of a work. It was then retrospectively
not illegal. Abusing this tends to get awards of attorney fees and
sanctioned plaintiff lawyers.

Were the Pentagon Papers legal before the newspaper won in court?

I'm gathering actual news stories (not blog entries on news sites, but
proper stories from proper journalistic news sites that can suffer
actual pain for putting up illegal content) containing the magic
