And some of the press doesn't seem to have a problem using information that Freepers research
Bump to that! I've seen it happen.
Some of the press, like Newsmax, or a quotable celebrity like Rush Limbaugh perhaps but others of the press (aka Big Media) DO have a problem using information that FReepers research.
By that I mean that even when a FReeper points out an error in a report, they'd rather bury it than acknowledge a liberal flaw.
I recently read an article on FR that had 2 Boston Globe reporters suggesting that John Kerry may have been untruthful with regards to statements he made during the Vietnam War. I sent them an email (with no references to FR) that included the text of his transcript from Tim Russert's tv show where he refuted his own claims of "genocide" as being the (lying) words of an "angry young man". I said that there was no doubt that he claimed American soldiers abused Vietnamese civilians. I never did get a reply from the authors.
Under the "new rules", I would not have even seen the article to bring this to their attention. Big Media can bury their head in the sand (the same way they do about Islamofascism) but I will not silence my voice.
