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.

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.

To: GOPJ
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.

To stamp out burning ducks.

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!
