I know it sounds paranoid, but I wonder if this represents a coordinated attempt to render FR less useful. I mean, part of the beauty of this forum is exposing media bias and other less than honest reporting, e.g. "free rides" given to the leftist media darlings. Do you think it's orchestrated?

If you go to an all excerpted version where you link the source, you should at least capture the original and report when it changes (excerpt the changes?). I'm tempted to do this for all of the news I read, just for the heck of it. It's too tempting for some folks out there to change what they say. They act as if copyright gives them the power to rewrite history.

They act as if copyright authority gives them the power to rewrite history.

Question authority. Be anti-establishment; oppose the liberal media elites.

I know it sounds paranoid, but I wonder if this represents a coordinated
attempt to render FR less useful.

If so, I'd say to all these "copyright complainers", especially the ones of
nutburger liberal ideology...
"Too Late, Your Emperor's Clothes have already been exposed!"

Along with talk radio (and it's expansion to streaming on the Internet and
going out to XM radio), the copyright complainers may place a partial muzzle on
freerepublic...but it will always be a leaky and WORTHLESS one.

Plus, they'll just earn a reputation for being SoreLoserGirlyMen
that can dish it out, but a world-class wussies when it comes to taking legitimate criticism
for their "BIAS" (thanks Mr. Goldberg).
