As you know, I always like to look at a situation as if it were the other way around.
Let's say there was a conservative event that centered around the removal of Barack Obama because he was this dangerous narcissist who was undoing policies they liked.
Let's say this conservative event of around 50 people, only TWO of whom were black and ONE other working, told the ONLY black videographer he had to leave and escorted him out in a rather humiliating fashion. Chances are that black videographer would be doing the rounds on CNN, MSNBC, maybe ABC This Week, Meet the Press, etc. decrying the racist conservatives that denied him his First Amendment right of Freedom of the Press.

Click bait garbage.
No thanks.

What’s his beef? He didn’t have insurance. All the other camera guys did.
Racists.
Well, he seemed to say that in his 30 year career this ‘insurance’ has never been required anywhere; and I get the feeling he wondered why this group demanded it and if it was something they used to deny access to ‘certain people’ (read: Trump supporters).
Click bait garbage.
No thanks.
Just curious as to how this qualifies as ‘click bait’.
It’s a straight forward blog post account of a conservative black videographer being told by the event organizer that he could tape an anti-Trump group of liberal mental health professionals who are trying get rid of Trump under the 25th Amendment.
But when he gets there he finds they’ve changed the rules at the last minute and he is escorted out.
I see an ad or two on the right column for a coffee cup and some music.
So where’s the click bait? Or am I missing something?
As I mentioned earlier, about 50 % of the psychologists are crazy themselves, and just proved it.
That’s a lowball estimate of psychology nut jobs.
It's the guy's own blog, there is no reason he can't post the whole thing.
His goal is traffic on his blog, nothing else.
He made a big mistake. He should have stopped at some other videographer and asked if he had gotten the “required” insurance.
I have a suggestion.
First take a look at this posting history.
https://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:impetrio1/index?tab=comments;brevity=full;options=no-change
Please note that it is set to “Comments” as opposed to “Articles.”
Then try to find a spot somewhere on this history where the poster
(who is the author of this blog, promoting his own site here on FR)
has taken the time and exercised he courtesy of extending a reply to any
of the many posts directed at him and the comments on his work.
Then do one more thing, please.
Go back to the blog which you say you already perused.
You will note that there’s a prominent link at the top for PayPal donations.
Now I am not suggesting that he shouldn’t try to make money - he should.
But considering the amount of free advertising he’s getting off all those
“1 of X” posts here on FR, don’t you think it would be common courtesy
to at least have FR listed along with the other links he provides on his page?
So what we have here is someone who posts daily (sometimes twice a day)
on FR to generate revenue for his own blog, while turning up his nose at the
prospect of actually interacting with the participants on this forum.
Further, he is doing so in direct opposition to the posting etiquette
laid out by the proprietor of FR, Jim Robinson, right here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2636843/posts?page=552#552
And that is pretty much why he is, as we say, a blogpimp
and his posts are clickbait.
Absolutely,and there are several of them around here.
