Sadly, I've seen it happen with FReepers time and again. I expect it from the masses, the watchers of CBSNBCABCCNNadinfinitum, but expect better of our crew here. After all, exposing the media for what it is - a tool of the demonratsocialistcommietreasonouspropagandisers - and countering its influence with truth, was part and parcel of FR's founding.
We know one of their favorite tricks is taking quotes out of context.
The leftpress routinely 'reports' half the news; they now boldly take newsworthy quotes and shorten, chop, rearrange, and repunctuate them, as with President Bush's State of the Union speech.
Keep reminding them, #3Fan, someday soon not only FReepers, but everyone will get it.
Thanks for your excellent post! You pinged me on the prophecy thread that I haven't been able to get to yet so I'll say this: I think prophecy states the lying media as being one of the evils of the end times. The radical portions of fundamentalists are our current physical enemy, enemies that come and go, like the British, who were once our enemy but now our best friends, but the lying media and the other institutions connected to it are a big part of our spiritual enemy that have always been against us in one form or another.
