Do you understand the difference between the news forum and the chat forum?
All of the above could be posted on fr.
Just not in the news forum.
Do you get it yet?
A question.
I understand that you are saying this should be in General Interest Chat. Is there
any link to what is defined as News that would qualify for the News Forum?
Example: Gov’t, Politics, President, Congress, Constitution, War, Military, etc.?
I know the Forums are listed as:
Bloggers & Personal
General Interest Chat
GOP Club
News/Activism
Religion
RLC Caucus
Smoky Backroom
VetsCoR
Thanks
Suggesting that legitimate news articles, from legitimate news sources not hiding behind paywalls should be consigned to the “chat” forum is bizarre to say the least. One of the original constructs of Free Republic was to encourage the posting of news articles so that conservative discussion among fellow conservatives could follow. Vanities were discouraged and childish antics almost unheard of.
I think that Admin Moderator has gotten a little too close to his admiring zot patrols and thinks that news is interfering with all of the great fun and should be consigned to the outer darkness.
From now on, only the New York Times, The Boston Globe, the LA Times, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution should be cited, you know, real news organizations. That will certainly take care of any real discussion of news and we can transform into a silly inane remarks forum.
