“Why do these stories get dumped into General/Chat?”
I’ve wondered the same thing. Guess if it doesn’t involve NY or CA stories of us (fill in the blank) Floridians burning to death on a major Interstate get moved to General Chat.
My 2 cents.
I am sick and tired of the MSM pimping the East and West Coast to the exclusion of many other areas of the country.
Here on FR we are getting too many hard news and breaking news stories moved into chat.
FR is primarily a political site but was once one of the best for hard breaking news. I would hate to see that change for every little political spin story to become Breaking News and Front Page News.
It is going to be a long election and it is going to be a long war on terror. Let’s not forget “regular” hard news.
