IMHO, people that don't know the difference between a blog and a forum don't care and won't. IMO, this is 99.99+% of everyone. The MSM will try to say FreeRepublic.com = 'unreliable extreme right wing whatever'. They won't make the distinction between extreme right wing blog or forum. If people hear 'freerepublic.com' they will check it out if they are so inclined. How does that old saw go? Something like any publicity is good publicity as long as they get the name right. It's a marketing thing.

I'm a Marketing professional. And I disagree with you. But that's what is so great about a FORUM, isn' it? ;)
