Of course I made sure to include the famous "post47" and relevant FR mentions in NYPost and such.
For years I've used FR as at elast a starting point to search for breaking stories if not as an out and out source. It really bugs 'em when the net in general and FR specifically beats everybody on stories.
Another memorable one was the capture of the DC snipers. IIRC a FReeper living in a house overlooking hte interestae and rest area where it went down gave us the head's up. It was GREAT, nad just one of mnay such instances.
Even with all that though my co-workers at the radio stations where I work - mostly ratz and RINOS BTW - have discounted FR as just another website rumor mill at best, a radical right wing hate group at worst.
This story and the attribution to FR really set 'em back on their heels! Never, EVER have they become so quiet, so intimidated...so deeply saddened.
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!
prisoner6 PRICELESS!

Your story needs to be in a special section called "Highlights and Firsts at FreeRepublic."
Is there a historian/librarian in the house?
