AP = All Propaganda

Don’t believe the Lying Leftist Media. They are presumed to be lying and we should assume that what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Can we limit posting this b/s?

I understand that some posts of certain published lies can help in ferreting out the truth and can be very helpful. But much of the stream of almost endless Leftist media’s published lies posted on FR often has no redeeming value, gets people pissed off and possibly demoralized, and seems sometimes to even strengthen the lie.

We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. We should find reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. We need much more of that on FR IMO. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose IMO.

This isn’t aimed particularity at you PROCON but to FReepers in general.

I hear you, Jim, but as you well know, half, or at least many of the threads we post here are an attempt to have fun mocking the Left.

I know it can be frustrating to see, but remember that liberal trolls read here too, and our clarifying the fake news can often lead to them waking the hell up to the lies they've believed in the past.

My 2 cents.

>>>Can we limit posting this b/s?<<<

We need to keep voicing our beliefs that these type of threads are simply not in keeping with Jim’s stated goal that this site by a bastion for God, for country, for family and for morality.

Otherwise I predict a civil war on Free Republic.
