I’m sure the rats are looking at this chart even closer now.

I don’t doubt we’ve attracted some underhanded organizers.

Pray for FR and FREE SPEECH!

Eventually somebody will realize that the nut-jobs that are allowed to post here are not furthering FR's goals,

I resent the accusation that I am allowed to post here.

What does one consider Drudge to be?

Spyware-infested and rudely all-caps.

Yep, the GOP can just dump that 40% of the population that makes up its base and go for those 15% moderates. Sounds like a winning strategy.

It just shows there are more cruds that like to wallow in HuffCrap then get the real stories.

My 16yr old nephew is one. He thinks Huff is the place to get news. LOL
I think he leans Libertarian.

I’m working on him.

Alexa is worse than useless for site popularity, it relies on installed Alexa toolbar in IE browsers and is often considered malware / spyware by antivirus applications, so is likely to be removed. Any data from Alexa is severely distorted from the get-go.

This data was taken from Hitwise, not Alexa. Hitwise is substantially better than Alexa, but still not a reliable source of unique (or aggregate) site visitation stats, but it is using a comparative technology so it can be somewhat useful.

SEOmoz | Alexa & Hitwise and Real Numbers, Oh My!

FReeper Adammon is right. Try this if you want to know more about Alexa and other hit aggregators : Alexa, Hitwise etc.

You know yourself best.

Euuuuwwww ... how could you???

If you got jillions from Soros et al to hire dozens of
experienced lib activists, reporters, equipment and
facilities, how good would your business be?

Get a clue!

So, how do we get FreeRepublic available as a Kindle Blog? HuffPo is there...

[Moonman62]

A lot of money has been poured into that site.

There are no moderates. There are only two major political positions possible in an electoral system based on representation by single member districts and first past the post determination of winners.

Outside of those two major positions, everything else is just part of a thin fringe.

Now that doesn't mean people don't lie to pollsters, or that pollsters don't manipulate the results to favor one or the other candidates, but it does mean that advocacy designed to "go to the middle" or "attract the moderates" is almost always created for the purpose of causing one's own side to LOSE.

Congratulations!

Does this qualify FR to have a news pass to all of the News conferences?

[Lazamataz]

The Huffington Post?

LOLZ

Good question. Jim, ping (I'll see what is involved for ya)

I came here during the election of W against Gore because I somehow learned of the Gore telephone conference with the press that Freepers got access to and then participated in by loudly flushing toilets next to the phone receivers, thus bringing a quick end to Gore’s little propaganda meeting. LOL

The thing is...with Lucianne you could never do that - you can’t even talk to each other and people keep trying all the time.

FR is a LOT more fun and more informative as well.

[Terpfen]

HuffPo is a major “source” for the media. The reason they’re so far ahead of everyone is because of all the media hacks visiting multiple times a day.

Doesn’t hurt that millions were poured into it, though.

[Salvation]

Hard to belive that number on the HuffPo.

[NormsRevenge]

Just passin' thru! Good Job!

Keep on FReepin'!

I think they run on a budget of about 12 million.

Are you series? I had no idea. Damn. I take back my kudos. I thought she shoe-stringed it and did the rest w ad dollars.
