It is news.

It's a blog. It belongs in the blog section. If at all.

It’s a news website, not a blog.

You recycle other people's material, creating none yourself. It's a blog.
Pay attention, son.

It clearly contributed information that generated a lot of discussion here and the pertinent info was provided in the excerpt.

Yeah, about that excerpt.. since you "wrote" it, you can post the whole thing rather than try to drive FR's traffic to your questionable blog.

It is news.

We covered that. It's your blog.

Actually, have you ever watched a news channel? Or read Breitbart? They report on what people, groups, and other news channels say. Most of their articles begin with “The AP reported,” or “According to the Washington Post,” etc. Here’s an example of them using an AP story and not even linking to the original source. http://www.breitbart.com/news/ohio-state-tweets-that-active-shooter-is-on-campus/ In fact, if you applied the same level of scrutiny to Breitbart, you could search Google and see that they use the exact wording and images as hundreds of other websites. Are you going to move all posts that excerpt or link to Breitbart to the “Bloggers” section? Or call them a “RE-Blogger”? Like Breitbart, a lot of our stories are the same stories run by other websites. Or else you’d have only one news website posting a story that no one else could. Then, we have other stories that are originals or are commentaries of news. Again, just like every news website out there. Search most stories on Fox, MSNBC, Breitbart, and others and you’ll find that many of their posts are stories, often the exact wording, used by all the other news websites out there. They also have original stories and commentary - like Resistance Feed does. If you bothered looking at the site you’d see that some stories are the news stories covered by many other websites (are those websites blogs too because they cover the same story as other websites?) and that other posts on Resistance Feed are originals or commentaries.

And you said I create none for myself - referring to content? Again, you apparently haven’t even gone to the website. There are original reports and commentaries. But like other websites like Breitbart, Newsmax, etc, sometimes we report the same story as other people. Breitbart will make a story on what politicians Tweet - they don’t just link to the Tweets and call it a day - they report on what other people say. They do the same with videos. All news websites do that and have original content as well and that’s what Resistance Feed does. You are using a double standard by attacking me for it.
