We have better fact checking on Free Republic than on all of the MSM.
I found an Internet site that had Information that fit right in with my ideas.
The only problem was the information was made up.
By the third reply some great poster had showed that this information was a hoax with URL to prove it was a hoax.

True.

Remember, also that a FReeper figured out that the central US pipebomber was making a huge smiley face. And within moments after his arrest and name being release, FR had his bio, his musical group, and his pix linked, long before the MSM did.

Absolutely. Everything that is posted here is subject to peer review by tens of thousands of knowledgeable Freepers.

I don't say "knowledgeable" as a toss-away compliment. I've noticed that, no matter what the topic... law, politics, physics, music, education... we have a full staff of qualified experts. People with staggering educations and years of experience, ready to confirm or debunk any claim.

The MSM should hope for such.
