I don't know if this is a complement or a putdown or both.

Why does the DNC mouthpeice known as ABCnews still get government licensing? Let the DNC pay for their own content and media.

I don't think it is a putdown, but I think they have the wrong idea on what FR is. FR is a forum, not a blog. As I understand it, a blog is a journal written by a personality for others to read, while forums are more interactive and enable an almost unlimited number of people to communicate back and forth.

I am glad that we are still celebrating the difference. I would hate for FR to change into a BLOG on steroids; a big ongoing vanity.
I have no use for blogs. A varied source of news and commentary suits me just fine.

It must be so nice for that idiot Kos to have his own pet network.

Kewl, maybe now I can hit up Karl Rove for a raise, and it better be a LOT more than the Dean campaign paid Kos...

That's what the MSM still doesn't get. A blog is purely one way communication like TV and web articles. They don't quite understand two way communications and haven't realized that some of us like to discuss ideas rather than be told what to think.

I do not like BLOGS either.
The Free Republic is definitely a FORUM.

I read as much of that link as I could stand. Made me want to vomit. The smell of elitism and liberal smarminess was everywhere.
