This is the first time I’ve looked at this site. Thank O’Reilly for that. My thoughts about the O’Reilly report is that he used Free Republic as a way for him to be “fair and balanced” when he went after DailyKOS. When he started flapping pieces of paper around saying this was off FR (with no video showing the posts), it confirmed my suspicion. FR was the sacrifical lamb, sort of speak.
His comment that a “professional” should be hired to monitor the postings is ridiculous. Other forums I participate in used volunteers and/or forum owners to police the forums. Only business sites have the money to hire professionals.
Welcome to FreeRepublic. I hope you will find lots to interest you here. Breaking news gets here as fast as anywhere, and then a Freeper in the neighborhood of the breaking news shares more than reporters can.
The threads from Katrina are classics.
BTW, the report abuse button is magical. “It” plus and explanation, erases objectionable posts. I have used it to ask moderators to get rid of remarks that I have made that were erroneous, as well as to point out nasty posts. And they are gone within minutes.
WarEagleVI,tennteacher: welcome to FreeRepublic.
You’ve been here less time than O’Reilly and his staffers and you “get it” already.
Nice to have you aboard.
Every day I get an education here. And I’ve been here —well— let’s just say a long time.
So BOR is sending his audience over to FR? His credibility is going to be shot!
