"The question is not your or my opinion of FR or various FReepers. It's more about how outsiders like the nice folks at Fox 5 News perceive FR."

Fox 5 has an agenda.

Here's what's happening: Leftist sites (like KOS and DU) have been legitimately under the gun lately for death threats, holocaust denial, support for jihadis, etc. The MSM, in an attempt to show that the Left doesn't have the market cornered on lunacy, has been frantically looking for the "equivalent" on the right, and since FR is the biggest and most influential conservative forum in the world they've taken direct aim over here. ....the truth be damned. And remember, leftists view conservatives as inherently hateful.

As I mentioned earlier on the thread, when sane and intelligent folks come over to FR to see what all the fuss is about they quickly realize that, far from being "hate site," FR is a place of thoughtful and passionate political discourse.

Yes. And the question we need to ask is: are there things at FR that help to feed their agenda? The answer is "yes."

It's amazing the lengths to which folks will go, to avoid looking at our own behavior.
