Why do people post demoralizing MSM content here and then put (Barf) or (Barf Alert) after the headline - like that makes it OK?
Example of what some people post here under "Barf Alert" ^

Frankly, I appreciate the tag.

Warns me not to click through (they did the dirty work).

IMHO, keep it up, folks. We desperately need more inside information from the enemy; that means getting dirty, and doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be warned.

“That pic is a BARK ALERT.”

Maybe not. Maybe that dog barfed out a frizbee.

I have a complaint, namely, that the text often posted after the headline tells us nothing about what the headline states. Part of the problem is that the authors of articles blab on and on before getting around to the subject of the headline.

Look, when we have the Establishment Media not improving from the this denunciation from an 1888 political cartoon:

That's why we need a barf alert for most of the Establishment Media anyway.

I get it, but 99% of the time it’s already known what our enemies are saying because it’s all the same recycled propaganda.

Every click on a fake news site brings them traffic and revenue. I will not click on them anymore. I want to help them die as quickly as possible.

I mostly ignore it, especially the “barf alert” stuff. No information content, and I’ve heard it all before anyway.

Who needs to be brought down by a bunch of nonsense? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

People put all kinds of demoralizing posts here- thinking we don’t know what evil is out there.
I suppose a few truly sheltered people don’t know- but i don’t think they are on FR.
I don’t click on those.
If I want to know “what the enemy is up to” I’ll just go to CNN or MSNBC.

I don’t read any posts with a barf warning or that has any msm as a source. I figure those posters are liberals pretending to be Freepers.

Disagree. It's always necessary to know what your opposition is saying and doing - conservatives can't play ostrich anymore, that's how we ended up with leftists running our public schools, the MSM, and now corporate America.

You can't fight something if you don't even know it's happening. Echo chambers are for the snowflake leftists - I want to know what my enemy is saying, doing and thinking. The folks who post the "barf alert" stuff here are going to MSM group-think sites so I don't have to, and for that I am grateful to them.

I don't know! Why does anyone post anything about the insanity of the left, whether Biden, the demoKKKrats, Antifa, BLM, Communists, Islamonazis, etc. Are they trying to demoralize us?

Why even talk about it. Let's just pretend like nothing bad is happening to America and the world. Then we won't need to come to FR and read all the "bad" news of the world.

Let's make a new rule. "No bad news is to be posted on Free Republic."

Let's just deal with the effect of the insanity on us and our families and enjoy the ride.

Nice catch!

The photo was all about subliminally suggesting BARK alerts as opposed to BARF alerts.

Freepers are amazing sometimes.

I think reading and posting news we don’t like is important.

Opinion pieces we disagree with are much less useful.

Or simply a warning that some FReepers may want to just bypass the piece without bothering to read it while others may enjoy watching train wrecks. :-} If so inclined, don’t read pieces with that added to the header.

And why do some people post vanity threads with headlines that having nothing to do with the article?

Right now my mind is drawing a blank on who that is. Help me out Sam. Who am I thinking of???
