You're right. In seconds we can have professionals looking at a story from hundreds of perspectives. It's a gift.

Now matter what the subject of a news story is, some the thousands of member of FreeRepublic are likely to have years of experience in a related field of expertise. That includes everything from landing an F-14 on a carrier, to medicine, to law, to journalism to typing with 1970's era typewriters, to whatever. That is why the research departments at so-called "professional" news agencies are rank amateurs when compared to FreeRepublic.

Which, of course, explains THIS thread.

Excellent oped and insight to Free Rebublic.

We, also, can hear some new BS being spread by local Rats.

Then, we go to experts re the area where the BS is being spread and have it confirmed as BS by the Freeper experts in minutes or a few hours. Then, we can, email that reality to the BSer and tell him to knock of the Dan Rather imitation.

Man, I almost fel as though this post needs a "vanity" tag on it :-)

Gnews gnats?.....:)

[Howlin]

but surprisingly enough, not very many of them view them as a news source they visit frequently.

But many of them do come here and snatch our stuff and post it on their own blogs just like it fell out of the sky.

The same can be said of some media outlets.

[1john2 3and4]

That would certainly be one of many historical FR milestones! (that I did NOT know about)....Fantastic job, sir.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

...Is that a FReeper? Where's his pajamas? Where's his beeber? I am stuned.


cruel, inhumane, non-PETA joke:

Why do ducks have webbed feet?
To stamp out forest fires.

Why do elephants have flat feet?
To stamp out burning ducks.

[Mo1]

No. And Santa better bring me one, if he knows what's good for him. ;)

Another thought, you can go all your life without being exposed to conservative philosophy, but unless you're Amish and eschew all education & Hollywood & books, you can't go through life without being indoctrinated in liberalism. Conservatives are more well-rounded and can poke fun at themselves. Liberals cling tightly to the dumb hickseeds mentality.

Without a doubt, FR is the best source of news and commentary on the net, HANDS DOWN!

FR is just one huge mass of real time information, live, the entire country, as it happens. It doesn't get any better!

[Americanwolf]

that I can accept.... its just the whole fly thing that bugs me... something about seeing jeff Goldblum turn into a fly has given me the willies when I have seen flies since!
