What really annoys me about this whole sorry affair is conflating Free Republic with kook sites like Kos, or Huffington's comments section- I can hardly stand to read their junk, it's so hateful and rude.
Believe me, in person I'm far from priggish- a chat in private between my wife and myself sounds like a swearing contest between a sailor and a pirate-- but we don't express ourselves that way in public.
Big media is frightened.
They know where news is found, it doesn’t reflect well on those who ignore, edit, cherry-pick, editorialize (instead of report), and literally make up the news.
Look at the stocks, look at the cuts, look where advertising is going.
Where does talk radio get a lot of their news/see through and correct MSM through fact check?
