That is plagiarism, you can't use a whole of text even if you indicate the source, he or she does not even own a one sentence in the post, that's purely plagiarism.

''copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)'' plagiarism.org

Yes, in a scientific world, it is considered as a plagiarism even if we did add the fully reference of the source. To make it as "not plagiarism" thing, one must make the work based on his own word even though he refer to other articles or news, and then you still must add the source.

I believe even in the internet world, it is still a plagiarism, and should lead to a punishment.

It's not plagiarism if you site your source, which he did.

the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

You're not really trying to pass the work off as your own if you provide the source, but in this case it wasn't done properly (or lazily).

That is pure plagiarism in academia but in this case I don't think it can be seen as a work since there is nothing belong to him in the post, he just share it, interpretation of plagiarism in the forum could be different I don't know but I wish he added at least some his own opinions regarding the article he shared.
