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" ^

Yes, if someone who posts an article disagrees with any part of it or its whole, he should make his case in the first post rather than lazily tag it in the title.

Please keep alerting us to obnoxious articles with barf alerts, and please keep posting them so we know what the enemy is doing.

I hear you....but going there feels like you’re going to catch some disease. I can’t take the shear insanity...

You... read the articles?!
That’s not how FReeps work.
That’s not how any of this works!

Sorry you’re depressed about the news.
The truth is out there somewhere. Some people like to read the news and be informed.

YMMV.

Cheers!

I understand that! I like going there when they have lost a battle for something and watching the splody heads and gnashing of teeth. I still feel the need for a shower afterwards.

I think it’s a great practice. It brings me up to speed and I don’t have to visit the barfworthy website.

Barf alerts were actually started by the mods, posting the comment after the original article was posted.

A label of ‘Enemy narrative alert” would be more effective.
It takes maybe 2- 5 seconds to read the narrative and go on.

The difficult part is you can’t talk about it at the water cooler at work anymore, without having to visit HR for reprogramming.

(firing)

The problem is way past barfing and being upset.
It’s way past being pissed at the FReeper who simply posts it.

We need to put down the propagandists....by whatever means necessary.
IMO.

Ahh, but not being apprised of what your enemies are muttering about is a good way to get bit in the butt. I generally avoid the BARF alert posts after reading the summary. Usually, it is about something I’ve already heard about — and don’t wanna barf again. So, I encourage their continuance.

Personally, I think it is important to know what is being said/published by other media sites or channels. Even if it is objectionable, so as to be nauseating, I still think it is a good idea that we are aware of what is being said. JMHO

Propaganda and gas-lightning are not forms of “news”.

Kaslin is guilty of this all the time. He loves posting demoralizing anti Trump sh!t.

I understand the “know thy enemy” idea.

I also understand clicks and website ratings and how google uses web statistics to (a) push things up higher on the lists from their search results, (b) push ad revenue accordingly, (c) help reward the altogether Left media to sell it as more popular to the sheeple - so I don’t post “barf” alerts. In my view it only increases the web recognition of crap I don’t support.
