That's not the case here, and in any event, I'm relatively certain that would apply to links in the post, not the title of the thread, as what happens if you put multiple links in the same new thread otherwise? If you don't want the title to be seen as your own, try quoting like this:

"Tom Flanagan is okay with child pornography", says canada.com

In which case I'll still think you agree with that statement, unless you specifically disavow that in the text of your original post.

That's the same fallacious reasoning all these news outlets are using, probably because reporters aren't taught how to reason from facts, but rather how to make facts sell newspapers. "Condoning" is an inaccurate choice of words - if you said his reasoning would "enable" child pornographers, that's an entirely different argument and one I would agree with.
