There are way too many non-breaking news stories being placed in breaking news. It's gotten so bad, this is in breaking news. Please, if the story has been posted once in breaking news, it doesn't belong there again unless it's a critical update. Also, don't abuse topics. A story does not need to be posted in every single topic. It does not generate more hits to your thread.
Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc, are not breaking news, unless convicted. This is tabloid journalism, we are a conservative forum.

Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc, are not breaking news, unless convicted. Amen. That's something FOX News needs to hear as well.

Speaking only for myself, I appreciate your continuing reminders of this. My only problem is finding the old threads to 'add on to'....... but I'll figure it out. *s*

Thank you all for your support and replies. We try our best, we make mistakes, and try to correct them. We also try to answer your questions. I've noticed sometimes we miss your requests. The best way to contact us is using the abuse report link on any thread, that's our 'home page'. Mail and pings can get lost in the sheer volume, and are not checked as frequently. Thanks again, we really appreciate it.

I like using google,
the advanced search. You can narrow your search down to freerepublic.com using the 'return results from the site or domain', and fill in the appro. key words. I have a lot of success with that.

Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson, etc, are not breaking news, unless convicted. But what if, let’s say, during a prison basketball game with Kobe Bryant, Scott Peterson kills Michael Jackson?

Only if Idi Amin punches Kobe, that would be breaking news. Else, vanity.....

Ever notice that breaking news on FNC only happens during "normal business hours"?

I am confused.
