I introduced my new wife of 2 years to FR in 2010. She has it as her default home page and Drudge. There is NOTHING that compares to FR when you need a quick look-see on news around the world. NOTHING. In fact, when I was in MIOBC, MICCC, CI school in Fort Huachuca, my fellow officers would always ask where and how I got such good OSINT so quick.

NIPERNET Freerepublic.com! Woot!

Literally, I was minutes to even hours before we heard news on commercial TV/radio stations. FR even beat SIPERNET Board on many issues.

My husband will often mention reading something in the news, and I’ll say, “Oh, we went over that on FR back on Tuesday!” or whenever. It’s not only fast, but many topics get chewed over from so many different perspectives that even the good radio hosts sound like teenagers when they discuss, for example, education or taxes or employment, compared to the aggregate insights of the whole community of FR.
