A recent New York Times article admitted that it, along with other major “news” outlets, allows the White House to censor what it publishes. The basic protocol is for the media to submit a draft of a proposed piece to the White House for review prior to publication. The White House then edits the piece and returns it.
“It can be irksome at times,” Times reporter Jeremy Peters admitted. “But what choice do we have? If we don’t cooperate we’ll be cut off from access. And for what? It’s not as if we aren’t 100% behind the Administration on virtually ever issue. It’s better to think of it as the kind of guidance a child gets from a parent. We may not like it, but in the long run we realize it’s in our best interest.”

In one of the previous craptire threads, another freeper showed that the way he browses Free Republic, that stuff does not show up at all, one would browse in a way that would not show the title and author. Here’s how.

So, why do you think John doesn’t want to put [satire] in the title, now that he knows this is the case? It is because he’s a puerile juvenile author who enjoys the gotcha of craptire high fives.
The FACT that John knows that FR can be browsed in such a manner that a freeper would not see those keywords or subtitles or anything, that proves that he is in it for the craptire.
The threads you directed me to were from 7/10. I was able to access the source in the search function.
Lighten up, FRiend. If you don't want to read the threads..don't. But many of us do.
The only thing Semen boy needs to do is put [satire] in the title.
You don’t like how sarcasm is introduced into these wussie threads? Get John to put [satire] in the title.
Otherwise, all y’all are just a bunch of juvenile gotcha craptire afficianados, and you’ll continue to get the sarcasm treatment.
