Can anyone tell me why "Breaking News (News Activism)" which I have on my sidebar mostly has "Sunday Morning Talk Show Threads" listed. Is there some secret religious thing I'm missing?
I ask because it's annoying no breaking news is posted there, it's always bothered me, but now even more so because someone I know recently said to me, "There's no breaking news on FreeRepublic. It's always the same old things."

And so people stopped posting there.
I don’t know why the sidebar is there at all.
Let’s just say the moderation is different since JimRob’s passing.
Breaking News tab is pretty worthless. Back when FR got 50+ threads an hour it kept important events visible but now 2 days worth of news shows on the Most Recent page. No need to use the Breaking News tab.
Honestly, I’ve never seen a sidebar...
Does that mean I have to start all over again?
Good Points
AB, you are being paged.
Every time I put something in it, it gets removed a few minutes later...........
To be fair, August is traditionally often a slow news month with lots of people on vacation.
Yup.
Guilty.
I have been laughing at that, too.
No Sunday morning talk show is “Breaking News.” They wrap up stuff from the prior seven days.
The lack of proper grooming shows a lack of care.
That’s why I quit posting in BN.
Good questions. The Breaking News sidebar has become a waste of screen space.
Huh, and I thought it was just me…

and your set. ✅
I have turned it off in my settings...
It has not been helpful for a long time.

Maybe it should be renamed “Braking News,” and we can post threads of automotive interest there.
Free Republic Moderators are faceless, nameless, and unaccountable.
Just like the bureaucrats for State or Federal assistance.
I have been a dollar-a-day donor and more for more than a couple decades.
Maybe it is time. Jim’s dream started back in the 90s. The Yahoo page.
Now it’s over $300k/yr.
The boys have other things going on and FR is not being attended.
