Firstly, it most likely isn't fair use as it is defined. Or if it is, it
would be a pretty tough argument to make.

However, the NYTimes (like many newspapers) actually encourages and enables
you to e-mail the whole article via it's website system. They don't appear
to put limits on who or what you can e-mail it to (I can see nothing saying
you have to email it to a single friend - for example). So, they seem to
encourage the promulgating. So in this case, I think you'd have to make a
pretty strong case that posting it isn't permitted.
