"Sorry, but the site looks pretty lame and low budget. I wish, some conservatives would put up a right wing version of huffpost, its not a high bar to beat...."

You do realize that FR hasn't been updated since the late 90's.

That is one of the main reasons Democrats won in 2008. Traffic reach + social media. They swamped us with sites like Digg. FR is working in a 1995 world.

And that is one of the reasons why I love FR. It is user friendly for us dial up users.

Free Republic also isn't a blog, nor a media outlet, its a news forum.

I would like to see a news outlet from the right wing similar to HuffPost or even blogs similar to daily kos, but we don't have them or invest the same resources into them.

I can hold out hope that Murdoch would do something, but thats seems unlikely, right now the closest thing is drudge, and that hasn't changed in god knows how long.
