AWESOME VIDEO: That's gonna leave a mark.
Have you ever imagined that you were a public official who had just had it with the media’s nonsense? So you strode to the microphone and you just let it rip? You told them how dishonest they are. How ignorant. How ridiculous. What complete and utter embarrassments they are.
Did you ever imagine this was you? Or just wish that some public official who’d had enough would finally just let them have it?
Bevin is our local Trump, but with better social skills.
Don’t fall for the teaser to get you to be a Click Bait number for this Clickbot poster.
Read Windflier’s reply to another Freeper r why this site is to be avoided and not clicked on!
“The topics and commentary provided in these postings (while I don’t normally go to a source provided) in any event I find welcome andI such complaints frivolous and dismissable.”
That attitude is precisely what allows a clickbot like Sean_Anthony to survive and thrive here. He operates with impunity, because our members can’t see the actual mechanics of his operation. Out of sight - out of mind, as they say.
Have you ever heard the term, monetization?
In a nutshell, it’s setting up a website so that it makes money. Primarily, it’s done by building enough traffic so that it becomes an attractive location for advertisers to place their ads. The more traffic your website gets, the more money advertisers will pay you to be there.
Some popular websites are so monetized, they produce thousands of dollars per month for their owners. I recently read that some sites produce as much as $5 per unique visit for the site owners. If your site is monetized that deeply, it pays to find every way you can to generate clicks.
That’s a thumbnail sketch of what Sean_Anthony is doing here. You care about the content of the excerpts he posts, but he couldn’t care less. You’re just a potential source of revenue to him. I’d hazard to guess that Sean_Anthony makes more money from Free Republic than JimRob does.
Do you really support that? In your heart, I’ll bet you don’t.

This over a hundred years ago.
“...some public official who’d had enough would finally just let them have it?”
I’m pretty sure if I did MY job the way the MSM does THEIRS... I’d be OUT of a job!
CFP is worth it. As long as it’s not MY $5 I’m fine.
BTW, I’m so anal at this stuff that I’ll use one browser to search on an Item I want to buy and use a different browser to actually go to the site and buy the item.
Thanks, now if people would just pay attention.
I’m kind of seeing your post as the equivalent of “why pay $40 for a steak dinner when you can make your own for $12?”
There really is a reason for it. And I don’t begrudge giving the money to someone who earns the extra money. What I saw in the CFP article was interesting information that took time and effort to produce.
Saw another FR “poster” called out for the same thing this morning, can’t remember the handle.
Allowing Spam Anthony and his ilk to do this encourages others.
Well said.
Typical defense of Spam Anthony — because it’s CFP, it’s ok.
More power to him if he’s also posting from leftist sites to DU, right?

But I do know how marketing and free markets work. I’m a fan of both.
You could have him as Senator instead of the useless Yertle.
Yes, but if I had to choose, I’d want him as governor. i.e. I like the way it turned out.

Why, exactly, is that a bad thing?
I agree, Canada Free Press has some great stuff on it.
Way better than the Ministry of Propaganda sites that are the usual fare.
So you approve of people who exploit FR for their own personal financial gain?
Not true. The media IS doing its job - defend Evil and oppose the Good. How could it be doing more?
