Well yes, it kind of is...

Why this post was allowed to stand when proven false is beyond me.
I thought if you posted something (other than a vanity or prayer request) then a link of sorts had to be provided? Am I wrong? If not, then any troll could come on, post something absolutely ridiculous in the attempt to make FR look sensational/wrong etc... Personally, I think the original post (because it is now proven as wrong) should be pulled.
ONe poster linking to a blog is not “Free Republic reporting” IMHO. I do hope the mods yank that sucker unless someone comes up with confirmation.
I hit the abuse button shortly after it was posted, and told the mod it should be removed until verified by another source. The article was allowed to stand for several hours after my notification before it was pulled.
