[Entropy Squared]

At one time I got my news from the newspapers and networks, but when it became so obvious that all the news had a far left-wing slant, I had to find somewhere else to become informed. Thus, I found a home at FR. I don't read ANY newspapers anymore and watch NO network news. No need to. It's much easier to sort out the truth here.

Same here, I subscribe to no newspapers and watch no network news.

Free Republic sorts the news and unspins the spin. Why wade through a bunch of leftist crap when I can get real news from the net?

A little more refinement of this idea. I would love it if there were an additional button to the ones provided at the bottom of a post:

[ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Report Abuse ]

The additional button would be, [ Suggest Edit ] or [spelling comment] or something like that. Everyone who clicks on that button ends up sending a private (or public, whichever is most effective) reply to the original poster and generating an automatic notice that they should consider using this new service. And then, the next time a liberal quotes from FreeRepublic with the bad grammar & poor spelling included, as they are wont to do, we can slam them for elitism and picking on the poorer people in our forum who can least afford the service.

[P.O.E.]

That includes the paper you're reading, even if you're not reading it on paper, since it is the actually selling of this paper which pays for the content you may now be reading gratis.

The actual selling of car ads and classifieds pay for the paper. Watch the internet finish off that source of revenue.

Great show, one of the absolute best ever, in any genre.

[sweetliberty]

Whining little pissant doesn't have a clue that all we're trying to do is get to the truth which the so-called journalists of the elite media refuse to report. They've long since stopped reporting the news and started trying to create it in the image held in their feeble imaginations. They decide how things "should" be, and try to make it so.

[sweetliberty]

"They aren't used to being corrected by people who don't have to go to journalism school to learn to identify the difference between fact and opinion."

Obviously, distinguishing between fact and opinion isn't taught in journalism school.

[RichLane]

They already do Joe Farah over at WND is a bloger, pundant, columnist what ever you want to call him and his World Net Daily is a first class news sorce. The difference is If your a liberal Bloger Your an "On-line Activist" if your Conservative your an evil deceitful Lying Bloger.

It is also my understanding that newsmax has people they hire to do investigative reporting. Drudge (ducks looking for the flames) by Liberal standards is a bloger. The problem is that main stream media hasn't quite figured out that they are the last dinosaur. Why are we going to sit around for an hour to hear liberal white washed news when with a click we can get up to the min info on-line? In the hour it takes for Dan Blaber to sell his advertising and report the censored news i can read every article on Newsmax, Foxnews.com, Worldnetdaily, and drudge. and i didn't have to waste 20 mins of my life watching commercials for new cars and new drugs. This is the big thing MSM doesn't get. We can get more news and faster online than they can put out on TV. That alone is enough to make them extinct even if they weren't under the desk of the DNC

"I don't think that bloggers, in general, are changing the media landscape. The truth is, bloggers are not that well read in the great scheme of things."

Counterbias: 8 Questions With Antonia Zerbisias

You seem to have a problem with bloggers.
They, apparently, don't like you very much.
Is blogging a worthless activity populated by scumbags, mostly?

"No, I have no problem with bloggers. Bloggers have a problem with me. I am devoted to many bloggers, on the right and the left. If I had the time -- not to mention the computer know-how -- I'd be blogging too."

"The ones who don't like me are the bitter, twisted right-wingers who don't admit that Bush is a lying fool who has made the world a more dangerous place. Their most recent mass attack on me was because I wrote that terrorism incidents have increased. They came after me, citing a very flawed U.S. State Department terrorism report. Well, guess what? A few weeks after I wrote that, State revised its Global Terrorism Report, restating the figures to show that incidents were at a 20 year high. Only one blogger had the class to correct himself: Damian Penny. The others just moved on to their next ''fisking.'' They arte accountable to nobody and nothing, including the facts."

[RichLane]

OK now here is a new attack on your ignorant @$$ any one who calls me Twisted needs to have my Navy issue boot imprinted on your backside permanently. It is you who are deluded. If you think quaking in fear to people that want you dead is going to all of the sudden make them stop because your beg and tell them that your all for peace and love your truly are a dolt. Lady you got it all wrong. Praise God and pass the ammunition! any one in the way is "Collateral Damage!"

Who has an anagram program, so we can figure out who really wrote this?

[F16Fighter]

"Great show [Outer Limits], one of the absolute best ever, in any genre."

I agree.

That eerie intro set the tone perfectly, didn't it?

[RightWingAtheist]

But did the report establish a causal relationship between Bush's policies and the increase in terror? No it did not. That's something which people like you infer without relying on any supporting evidence, because it 's what you want to be the answer.

[RightWingAtheist]

Just to make things clear: my last poiced was directed at Airhead Antonia, and not you, DBeers!

[maxwellp]

At least she admits they are going down the tubes.

"A few weeks after I wrote that, State revised its Global Terrorism Report, restating the figures to show that incidents were at a 20 year high."

Yeah, that's how a raving moonbat from Planet Commie Nutbar would phrase it.

The "facts" as reported by CBS are, "Initially, 190 acts of terror were reported in 2003, a slight decrease from the 198 attacks reported for 2002. On Tuesday, the State Department said there were 208 acts of terror last year, a slight increase from 2002."

So, attacks were up by 5.05% in comparison with 2002, but included none on American soil.

Anti-American, Anti-Bush leftist filth in the State Department (sorry to be redundant) looked at that and said, "Hmmm...5% is really not all that bad, especially since there haven't been any sensational attacks involving Americans. How can we make this look worse? How can we give our catamites in the media more to work with in bashing Bush?"

And a senior foreign service officer broke off a fantasy of the 12-year-old houseboy he'd had when posted to Indonesia, and said, "Yo! Word up, homes! Looky here: what we do is issue a report that says attacks actually went *down*. I know, I know, that will initially make Bush look good, but dig this: We let that report simmer for a little while, with "progressives" denying it and Bushies flaunting it.

"The Bushies will be *way* out on a limb, relying on this report, then we saw the limb off behind them. That will hurt their credibility and the Bush regime's credibility, and all our butt buddies who were denying the accuracy of the report will be "proved" right."

Then they all went over to Barney Frank's house to celebrate with some cocaine and underaged male prostitutes.

Sound like a fairy tale? I guess, in a sense, it is. But if you think it implausible, then you don't know the State Department.

"they can't see that, by firing up at us"

To quote Charles Winninger in Nothing Sacred, "I’ll tell you briefly what I think of newspapermen: the hand of God reaching down into the mire couldn’t elevate one of them to the depths of degradation—not by a million miles."

Yo, Zerbeastias, here's a clue for you: the gutter is in a downward direction from where we stand, and the mire makes a very good backstop for rounds that go all the way through.

[zip]

solid, stolid mainstream journalism

Does that mean leftist, lying, in-your-face anti American reporting?

[bill1952]

>have yet to figure out that what goes up must come down, they can't see that, by firing up at us, they will also kill themselves

Notice that "firing up at us" quote.

Yep, we are animals in the dirt, firing up at the high exalted, always correct, intellectuals that inhabit those Heavenly heights to which they have ascended.

Says it all.

[Bullish]

When he steps down as front man for The CBS Evening News on March 9, he will stay on as correspondent for the still much-watched 60 Minutes, as well as perform other assignments.

Only so he can pump out puff pieces on how Hillary is the exalted queen of heaven, and we should all bow down to her Holiness.

Sheesh, what a stupid baboon!
