But in essence, with my one paragraph summary, that is what they are saying.
They describe "ultra-conservative" Jim Robinson having founded FR, as a "Clinton Hating" website, and mention the LA Times Washington Post lawsuit. They say FR is not allowed to quote those papers, if that's true, I'm not sure.
They mention "Freeps" as protesting / frustrating Democratic Party gatherings. etc, and that after the failure of the Clinton impeachment action ebbed somewhat on FR, but picked after after 9/11 with references to, what I thought were, war mongering tendencies.
This is a short summary, of course, and for "Spiegel", who seems to be PO'd that their poll was trashed, it was a seemingly detailed article about FR.
It seems they didn't cookie-protect the poll, mentioning they tend to put "trust" in their readers. Did you pick that up, Jeff? I'm reading this fast, and posting, so I haven't got a real detailed analysis ready.
"Spiegel", if I may give my opinion, publishes a lot of breaking news, and is very much on the cutting edge of any major news event. Yes, a lot of their material tends to be liberal, but they do have Pro-US viewpoints often.
