For example:

Centrist Democrats pose major problem for progressives is the title. can it be followed by the TRUE title? CENTERIST DEMOCRATS ARE A PROBLEM TO BE ELIMINATED BY LEFTIST RADICALS ?

This is important to change the language and perspective

I don’t see why you couldn’t just try it and see if the Mod Squad nods or nukes...

You can get away with adding editorial comments to the title if you put them in parentheses and aren’t too obnoxious about it.

No. You can’t. But there is an exception to this rule.

As you know Free Republic does not allow changes to a title. That is a violation of copyright laws.

But you can always add a brief edit/comment as long as it in in parenthesis or bold letters or in some way making it clear that you are commenting on the absurdity of the title.

So basically you want to make up your own fake titles?
To somebody’s copyrighted material?

I would keep the actual title in the 'title' box, and maybe put your interpretation of the title in the 'body of comment' box.

Mods frown upon altered titles, for search reasons.

Wouldn’t that be nice.

That plus posting LESS lying Leftist articles would also be nice.

One problem is that it will open wide the door for duplicate posts, but maybe add a :SARC or :FAKE NEWS at the end of the title?

If you change the title other posters won’t be able to find the article and we’ll get even more multiple postings of the same article than we already do.

I don’t think changing the title of an article is a good idea because it would make searching for a specific article difficult.

How would you be able search to see if an article has already been posted if the original title has been changed?

You can put it in brackets after the original title.

I would be glad if people made any comments at all to their posts.

At the risk of joining the Humble Gunner fan club, we have far too many posts linking to individual's blogs rather than the original source with absolutely nothing added. Those times I do post an article I usually have quite a bit to say about it, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting it.

I'm tired of the posts which say "World ends tommo [read more at mymonetizedblog.com]"

It’s necessary to be able to search for an article.

However you can add a few words in parenthesis after the title or even maybe include your revision (and note it as such) at the top of your article/excerpt. It would even be visible in the “Headers” view of new articles.

It’s LONG past time that conservatives start doing this. Why do we accept the lying MSM narrative and definitions? Why don’t we start doing the job that a truthful editor would do and remove the leftist newspeak from these articles.

We would end up with countless double post because the search feature would not work.

The (“Barf Alert”) following the title is often used here, and it works well.

Look around for the same news from another source.

If you feel the need to add a qualifier, use brackets [], NOT parentheses, as they are sometimes used in real titles. We need to keep the titles complete to avoid double posts.

The time-tested way is to post [Barf alert] or just [barf] after the offensive headline.
