Sounds like they don't want their articles scrutinized by intelligent conservative types. Most of these publications just want to deliver their propaganda to the unthinking, brainwashed masses.

The Washington Times (like Fox News is/was) is one of the "good guys" in that it's reporting tells both sides of the story and not just the leftwing Democratic talking points. Why those two have objected to FR is beyond me.

My concern, as it has been for a long time, is that we don't have complete individual articles to reference once they disappear from their web site. Having to click to get beyond excerpts doesn't bother me (except for paper registration and popup ads) but the lack of being able to retrieve full articles in the future remains a problem that somehow continues to need to be addressed either by the courts ("fair use" of copyrighted material) or by technology via a central clearinghouse accessible to internet users (either for free or for a small fee). If there exists such an accessible database, maybe part of our Freepathon donation could be used to allow FR users to access it in the course of our discussions.

Print a copy and find a place to archive it and then yoou refer to the archive, even if it's only on your own computer (scanned.)
