@Mark_Penn

The day a twitter mob can change a headline on the New York Times this paper is truly finished and replaced by a new kind of 1984 Ministry of Truth. The news is now what people say it is.

Penn is a little late the party. The news has been dead for years.

UPDATE: Why our thread was temporarily locked

Okay, for all who might have not been on the thread when it was locked:

“This thread has been locked, it will not receive new replies.
Locked on 8/6/2019, 12:40:38 PM by Admin Moderator, reason:
Temporarily locked so everyone knows to quit posting 8 Chan links/IP’s. Will unlock soon.”

Please do not threaten the future of this thread by posting chan links or memes, etc.~Bitt

To Bitt's wise words, I will add a request that all references to "infinity Chan" or "8ch" be no more specific than those two spellings. So please hold off on spelling out the formatting of a Chan link etc.

Before posting an image from there, please look to see if the image displays the text of one or more identifiable 8ch links - those have been deleted in the past. As always, image (and text) posts must not use an 8ch link in the html code posted to FR.

At this time, that website is being (falsely) portrayed as Klan central and we don't want Free Republic to be falsely portrayed that way too. And we REALLY don't want to exhaust the mods who work to protect FR from those kind of accusations. ThankQ.

Well, it hasn't been what the NYT says it is either....for a long time.

I have been slow to endorse @Mark_Penn but he continues to impress in my estimation. I always have time for someone talking freedom.
