I disagree! Most days I go to several other news sources, then come to Free Republic because I love it, and spend the rest of my time here.
Often, I'm tired of 'news', and go to Freeper questions, or Miscellanious, always hoping to find one of those 'silly' threads that are so entertaining.
Anyone, with half a mind, can pick and choose the Forum they are interested in.
Or just pick a thread they're interested in on the same forum. Problem solved.
