trouble using Linking Feature

I am having problems using the link feature (visual) tool. when I copy the URL the link (from search engine) says it can’t be found..these are links to major media and other well known entities.

the text is highligthed but the link appears to be working but when I view the post (new) in the how it appears section and then click the link…I get the response that google cannot find it…strange.

any suggetions..deeply appreciated. my email address is [email protected] please copy me there as well if you would be so kind!
