He doesn’t do links. He’s of the opinion that his opinion is news worthy. FR has gotten really sloppy in that respect, viz. endless vanities in hard news sections.
You’ll often learn more in VANITY pieces than in some of the articles posted at FR. Listen to those who have had experiences on the news topics of the day, or who have done their homework/research about “claims” and “facts” that the left tries to foist off on us as the “truth”.
Many on FR believe that only “reporters” and “journalists” are able to write about current events, history, archeology, politics..... they also believe if it isn’t published in USA today, time magazine, the New York Times, the Washington Post,… Are able to be posted on FR and discuss. Go figure they are also the same people that are crazed at the liberal media for getting away with only publishing half the truth / story.
I must be missing part of the logic and reasoning for their Vanity patrols. God for bid some humble person label you a blog pimp or vanity poster because they personally gave hundreds of dollars to Free republic.
What they forget is that 15 years ago news items, opinions, investigations ... in the real world were posted here before other places even knew they existed. Unfortunately we chased all those people away via bans, moderation, purist ideology ...
So jump on this vanity all you want but I found it worthwhile!
