fine. you care about credit, I don't. Remember that this report was fm the media (albeit Fox, near as i can tell fm the orig post...) - don't you think it's a bit off to both want the media rightfully taken down a notch for their blatant misrepresentation/lies, then want them to give truthful claim (in the form of proper credit-assignment)?

I don't need that, not from them. For me, the people that count are like the great majority of Freepers... and they - we - know how this went down, and who started the ball rolling.

No, I don't think it's off to want to credit the right individuals. Not off at all. If you look at the threads on this forum when the story first broke last September, the majority of Freepers were ecstatic about FR's role in this, ie credit. Everywhere you looked, you'd see a thread with "Free Republic Mentioned" in the title, in regards to a tv segment or an article.

I've heard the wrong credit being assigned by media that I like and trust such as Brit Hume, Fred Barnes, Sean Hannity etc. If FR is cited, only Buckhead is mentioned. Or worse, it's not mentioned at all, and Powerline gets full credit.

There's no shame in enjoying credit. It's only natural for people to feel that way. You don't. I get it.
