I've learned that whenever someone claims to be above bias, they're usually liberal and biased.

A media Web site scheduled to debut Wednesday will seek to blend traditional journalism with the freeform commentary I see. They write fiction and everybody comments on it.
I'll pass.

Actually, Corn is pretty much the token liberal with this group, with everyone else being conservative. The liberal blogs are apparently howling with laughter at this venture.

In other words, the MSM sued FR for the crime of giving them more web traffic - and now they are adding insult to injury by using FR content to pad their failing publications.

Other than my self imposed exiles, which dont last very long, I havent found anything better than this web site right here.
As long a JimRob will let me, I will be staying put.
I do think we need to have some sort of penalty for every time this board gets refered to as a blog. Boiling oil comes to mind......

This site is going to bomb! The Media has been blending opinion and news for years and years and years. And evidence in the year 2005, is that their "news" was never that popular.
The only new thing here is that they're taking opinions now from the net.

So their idea is to produce new forums to spew forth the same old Leftist drivel. It's not the Format Dinasours, IT THE CONTENT.

But, those are called "Vanities" here and the poster is immediately flamed (unless it includes photos of certain conservo-babes)
