Repeatedly, FR moderators have moved TOP postings related to current NEWS and calls for conservative ACTIVISM from the News and Activism section, over to "blogger's and personal" which has no traffic by comparison.
I fully understand Jim Robinson's original purpose in launching FR, to provide a community in which conservatives could get TRUTH not available in the MSM, information not available in the MSM and access to fellow conservatives so that we could work together towards a conservative agenda.
Yet time after time, FR moderators bury this information over in "blogger's and personal" and kill story after story, vital to the conservative movement.
Why?
Without a change in this policy, I am through posting to FR. The moderators on FR have less sense than the moderators on DU, where they at least work to bury the opposition, instead of themselves.
What gives? Anyone understand this self-defeating policy?
bttt!!
Ask Jim to post the history of traffic between News and Bloggers...
And wasn't that his objective in the first place?
Let me take a wild guess here: Your blog ain’t gettin’ the hits you think it deserves.
Don’t let the door kick your ... when you leave!!!
Ask him yourself.
Those DU moderators are gonna rip you to shreds, after they strip search you!
There is more latitude for free thought and free speech here on Free Republic than you will find on any lib site. Only the bedrock principles are non negotiable here.
Funny thing, almost any time we get this kind of bitching and moaning, it is from someone who tells us NOTHING on his or her personal page.
I remember the very first API stories on the ‘tape’, some folks where screaming it wasn’t a ‘blog’ (even though it is a Wordpress blog) and wondered why it was moved from Activism and Breaking News to wherever it was put... I guess the mods got that one right...
I don’t have a blog... that’s the point. You folks are amazing... The idiots now outnumber the grown up conservatives here. I’m beginning to see the problem now... How many of you are FR moderators?
Interesting enough read, but it’s not “news” in the breaking sense, and a stretch to call it activism.
Still better than most of the blog pimping stuff you find in bloggers.
Me too.
“It’s still the 800 lb gorilla.”
Becoming more like a sandbox for fools...
What’s the mission of FR again?
In case anyone was wondering what you like like, I found your most recent pic:
That’s a great article, but it isn’t news or activism, it is an editorial opinion piece.. it is true, it is interesting, but it isn’t news..
That’s something we complain about all the time with the MSM, they turn opinion pieces into news..
I’d go insane without it:0(
Maybe???
Then again, maybe you should learn who you are talking to before commenting. Find any of my posts that are not 100% conservative?
well, we plainly understand your self-promoting attempt to use FR.....cheers!
