So, you are willing to post article excerpts from, “regular media” who one assumes are also making money from clicks, i.e.; The Washington Post, The LA Times, the NY Slimes but we must begrudge bloggers any value?

If I see content that might interest me I click on it (except the Slimes). If I don’t like the add environment I learn to avoid it even though there might be great content i.e.; Breitbart, The Blaze, and, well, I can decide for myself.

The blog police are nearly as tiresome here as the vanity police and the repeat post police. If you don’t want to click on a link, Don’t! I find some poor commentary occasionally contains some bon-mot which is worthy.

Regardless, when conservatives eat their own because they fail some perceived purity test it makes me want to vomit.

This is an aggregating site which serves to draw attention to reporting and opinion and the commentary of our fellow FReepers which may not appear on the original site.

When our observations devolve into bashing other conservatives because they aren’t irreproachable or uncontaminated it cheapens the prerogative of the FReader as surely as terms the left uses; anti-capitalist, misogynist, racist to rebuke and vilify rather than regard and respect.

The mouse is in your hands so choose to click, or not.

I suggest you click on the link I posted in #8 and read Jim’
s full statement.

Then wipe the vomit off your shirt.

So who is stopping you or saying you shouldn't?

I can decide for myself.

Again, who's stopping you?

So.. these "police" post about something they dislike?
Exactly like you just did?

Blah blah blah...
