The Associated Press wrote the following:

  "Text of a July 2, 2013, letter to Edward Snowden from his father and
   father’s attorney

   Here is the text of the open letter Lon Snowden, along with his attorney,
   Bruce Fein, wrote to NSA leaker Edward Snowden. The letter was provided
   to The Associated Press."
The inclusion of Mr. Snowden's letter to the Associated Press's original title and introduction makes this a derivative work for which copyright protection is available[0].

Even without that (or if my understanding of a derivative work is incorrect) you are construing mechanical output of boilerplate CMS content as a specific intent to claim copyright, an assertion which lacks supporting evidence.
