Ok but link aggregators don't just link the url. They link the url, show a picture they scraped off the site, the headline (aka the most valuable piece of text) and then often the first paragraph or so of text.

It's pretty obvious that the revenue of news media has decreased as social media revenue has increased and it has really shown in the quality of non-public news organizations the world over.

Yes, and all that has been legal, and now it's not and they are choosing not to incorporate it. That's fine and their right. Law makers need to focus on the source of the problem not make nonsensical "patches" that don't work and instead only serve to further break the ideal of the internet.

We didn't need a law for news sites to stop Google and Meta copying headlines and summaries. The news sites could have done that easily on their own.
