so basically the times only reports on FR when they want to show us in a negative light.

There were some very thought out responses to vonovich yet they went for the emotional ones.

They even called FR a blog. FR is a forum, the MSM's ignorance knows no limits of ignorance.

well it isnt that the MSM is ignorant of what FR is. They know what it is, but are banking on their readers NOT knowing what it is and also that their readers would have a basic understanding of what a blog is....

they are mischaracterizing FR for their benefit, nothing more....

So true. The live thread on yesterday's committee meeting was over 1500 posts long. So what do they choose to cite? And for the last time, when are those dipsh*ts in the MSM gonna learn the difference between a forum and a blog?

Unfortunately, that's the type of coverage I've come to expect from the parasites in the fourth estate.

However, the mischaracterization of Free Republic is nothing new, or even something that is unique to liberals.

I can't tell you how many times I had to clarify this issue to well-intentioned people at the screening of The Road To Jenin.

For some reason, the distinction between a user forum and a weblog is lost on some people.

"The MSM's ignorance knows no limits"

That's why they are yesterdays news medium, the "Old" media and we, talk radio and a few t.v. nets are the new media. We are quickly setting the pace and they will become followers.
