Default Spacing between paragraphs when pasting in an external news story

Hi everyone-

I have had this problem for sometime, and it has continued on with the 4.0 release. Here's the deal.

I copy a news article from our local newspaper website to post on my site.

It should look like this:

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama voiced determination Thursday to change the tone of Washington politics and urged Republicans to get "off the sidelines" and help fix health care and other problems.

Stopping on his way out of a town hall meeting in Tampa, Fla., Obama hammered again on his State of the Union message - insisting that voters and politicians needed to "start thinking of each other as Americans first."

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were in Florida to announce $8 billion in federal grants for high-speed rail projects nationwide - part of his push to combine spending on infrastructure with job creation.

Obama also used his first State of the Union speech Wednesday to push nervous Democrats to forge ahead on health care, despite voters' worries and opposition from newly strengthened Republicans.

However, once posted, it looks like this (space between paragraphs is removed):


Quote:

Obama also used his first State of the Union speech Wednesday to push nervous Democrats to forge ahead on health care, despite voters' worries and opposition from newly strengthened Republicans.
Now, when I go back to edit the post to add the spaces between paragraphs, it ends up looking like this (with extra space between paragraphs):

So I go in to edit it one more time and delete one space from between each paragraph and then its finally right.

How come when I copy the text from the news site does the formatting not carry over? Anyone have a fix for this? It's not a big deal, just a PITA every time I have to post a story.
